I have updated the rom via ota, and now touching the touch screen causes the Android wear to crash. Is there a way to reinstall the rom via bluetooth or with a cable?
The watch is not rooted or with a recovary
Is it possible to just re install the Android wear
Solved the problem and thought it might help others. Unpaired, cleared info, uninstall Android wear from device. Cleared Google play data. Installed an older version of Android wear. Working fine.

I've been using Android Revolution 9.2 and this morning installed 10.0. Everything was working fine for a while, then all of a sudden the GAPPS process started force-closing and I lost all access to the Play Store. I would click on the play store icon and it would just bounce me back to the launcher (in this case, Nova Launcher 2.0). I decided I need to reflash Android Rev HD 10.0 (I have CWM Recovery 6.0.1 installed). The AROMA installer would start, but it would always lock up at some point before the installation began, usually at the prompt to backup the efs partition, sometimes earlier, sometimes later. I haven't been able to get a clean flash started. I even tried to go back to 9.2, but the same thing is happening.
I did a factory reset hoping it would fix the problem, but the GAPPS process continues to crash and I can't access google to restore my apps. So I'm really up **** creek here. Am I looking at a bad RAM problem all of a sudden? (god, I hope not!).
Any help/advice would be welcome.

My SW3 has Android Wear 4.4W.2 installed, build number KNX01F. I haven't found a way to get it to update. I've tried clearing the data on the Android Wear App on my phone, unpairing and factory resetting., as well as the Sony Companion program. I tried flashing an OTA via adb, but as soon as I got into recovery mode adb couldn't see the watch. Does anyone know any tricks to force the update?
Recently there was a bug in latest Android Wear companion which prevented your watch from successfully upgrading from 4.4 to 5.0.2. Check this thread for possible solution (downgrading companion helped me).

Thanks for the quick reply. I've tried downgrading the Android Wear app to the version suggested, but it still won't update. I'm going to try the same thing on a non-marshmallow device. Did you also have to downgrade Google Play Services, or just the Android Wear app?

GOT IT UPDATED! I decided to try the Sony Companion program once more time and lo and behold it worked! I have no idea why it didn't work the first few times I tried it. Oh well, thank you for your help.
I'm doing a new thread instead of posting on the specific stock because I believe this problem may be more generic.
---- Details -----
So, I have a P601, so Exynos processor, and I heard that recently it got the LP update, so after over a year of not messing much with root and stuff with my tablet, I decided to update it.
First, I had the Hydronium ROM (4.4.2) installed, a stock based ROM. This is the one I used for over a year, no updates.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2782580
Then I decided to install this one via TWRP ([Official Lollipop 5.1.1] Galaxy Note 10.1(2014 Edition) SM-P601 Firmware Root Deodex)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ficial-lollipop-5-1-1-galaxy-note-10-t3249975
And what I got was a Black Screen and no boot besides the Galaxy Note logo.
I then downloaded and flashed a stock ROM via Odin ([Official Lollipop 5.1.1] Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) SM-P601 Firmware Update)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ficial-lollipop-5-1-1-galaxy-note-10-t3240720
---- The Problem ----
And it booted back with all the data intact, but since then, a few apps like Gmail, Inbox and Hangouts do not work anymore, and when I check my google account, every time it syncs, it gives an error and Gmail and/or Inbox crashes with an "Unknown Google Play Services error".
I thought the problem was that I had 4.4.2 Gmail apps and they did not get updated to 5.1.1 (Though I would guess the stock rom would have done it...), so I downloaded TK-GApps, but when I went to install, it did not let me do it because I already have Google services installed, and it wasn't TK-GApps.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/tk-gapps-t3116347
So I ask, is there something I can do? I already installed the initial rooted ROM over the stock, so I have root and stuff. I would appreciate any suggestions that may help me to get it synced and not have those crashes every half an hour or so.
Thank you.
--------------------------------------------------
So, following the happenings below, I left it charging, and just before going, checked again if GMail was working and no deal, so I went to Titanium Backup and restored the data (not the apps), and in the middle of the process, GMail notified me with all recent emails, and everything works now. Well, no idea why it wasn't working before, but now it does.
Well, decided to reinstall everything again, so I backed all normal apps with Titanium Backup, and used TWRP to wipe Data and System, and re flashed everything. Followed the welcome screen, logged on my GMail account, installed Gmail, says my Google Play Services should be updated, I updated it via Play Store, and still no messages... Went to check if my entire Google account synced and no deal, failed.
So I'm guessing I must be using incompatible ROMs or something like that... I guess?
Hi everyone
I have got a Samsung Tab Pro 10.1 (SM-T520) and it unfortunately stopped updating due to it been so old and was left behind on android KitKat 4.4.
So I decided to root it and download the lineage update to get android 7.1.2 custom ROM on it and give it a bit of life instead of never been used because it's slow and blotchy.
When I download the ROM everything worked really well, moment installed Gapps it when pear shaped. I was met with "android is starting" message stopping me from do anything but go on settings through notifications bar and it made my keyboard disappear.
So I just flashed the lineage ROM back to standard without Gapps. I have tried most of the Gapps packages that they make and I get the same thing every time with the missing keyboard.
My real question is can build a set of google apps through apk. I have tried installing google play, google play services and google play frame something (can't remember the last one) all of them either don't work or crash and just not stop being up a message saying each one of them isn't working.....what apps do need to install or flash to build up my own set of google apps without using Gapps
(Just some notes at the end to help, I rooted using root genius, my custom boot is TWRP, I installed TWRP via odin and lineage seems to be the only ROM that does a android 7 for my device, the apps I want working are google play store, google app, google maps, google assistant (if possible), gmail and maybe calender. The rest of them are on my non rooted s7e so don't need them on the tablet.)
Hope someone can help
hello
there " http://opengapps.org/ " use aroma version
or there " https://www.apkmirror.com/ "

regards
Thanks.
In the end I just picked and tried flashing different Gapps packages, when a package I tried wouldn't work I just flashed installed the original lineage 14.1 ROM, to wipe the Gapps package....after trying about 4 different packages from Gapps I think the micro package worked.
Just can't get android assistant to work now, do anyone have any ideas???
hello
before installing opengapps u should wipe data, cache, walvick

I am having major issues with android auto since Oreo
Essentially, what is happening is that the Android Auto app itself will work with two and only two apps. They are Google Maps and Google Play Music.
My problem is, none, and I truly do mean no other 3rd party apps will work with Android Auto.
I should also restate that this is a problem with the Android Auto app itself, so let's pretend no head unit or car is involved. This can be replicated on just the phone.
Here's the behavior:
-Open android auto
-Open any 3rd party app (Let's say IheartRadio)
Either one of two things happen next:
-Instantly get a screen that says "IHeartRadio Doesn't Seem to Be Working"
OR
-IHeartRadio starts like it should, and is able to play music for about 15 seconds, and then I get "Doesn't seem to be working" screen
-This happens for every 3rd party app, not just IHeart, but Plex, TuneIn, Radio Scanner, EVERYTHING except Google Play Music and Google Maps.
I should also state that Android Auto and 3rd party apps worked without a hitch, absolutely flawlessly in Nougat.
And, I've asked around the OP5t forums here and nobody is having the same problem.
-------
What I've tried so far (And hasn't worked)
-Re installing Android Auto
-Re installing every 3rd party app and re-trying
-Installing a custom ROM (Oreo) (Same exact behavior right after factory reset flashing new rom )
-Tried installing 3rd party apps from a non google play source
-Flashing OOS 8.0 Stable, as well as OB4 thru factory wipes
What I haven't tried:
-Re-locking the bootloader and flashing back to OOS nougat (Would this even help?)
I'm totally at wits end here, folks. I bought the OP5t to accompany my new car as my old phone couldn't handle android auto, this is one of the most imporatnt features to me.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Would flashing back to nougat and locking the bootloader like the phone was brand new help me? I've never seen such a problem that persists through clean flashes.
Thank you kindly everyone,
Hey!
I had this exact same problem.
I managed to solve this.
I am on OOS Open Beta 4.
Install latest:
Android Auto:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/android-auto/
Android System Webview:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/android-system-webview/
Google Maps:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/maps/maps-9-74-0-release/
Google App:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-search/google-search-7-23-24-release/
Google Play Services:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-services/google-play-services-12-2-21-release/
After installing all the apps, reboot your phone.
Android auto should work smooth again!
Just FYI, the bootloader status (locked/unlocked) has nothing to do with this.

Hey there, first and foremost, thank you so much for taking time to respond! I tried your suggestion, but I'm still not having any luck
I'm going to keep messing around with it, but thank you again for the reply.

Ohh that is really weird. Make sure you install all the Google Beta apps, and also the latest Android Auto version.
Are you using the Red Dash cable?

Yes, I'm using the dash cable that came with the phone, but this problem is isolated within the android auto app. I don't need to connect it to the car to get the issues I'm having. Just launching the app on the phone itself and starting up a 3rd party app will trigger the "seems to not be working" screen.
If I connect it to the car, the same behavior happens. No issue with the connection to the car since I'm still able to use Maps and Play.
I'm considering flashing back to nougat to see if it works and OTA'ing til I get stable 8.0 and dirty flashing OB4 today.
UPDATE!!!
I got it working, and how I fixed it was a total PITA, but it works and I'm on OOS OB4.
Here's what I did:
1. Download the first available nougat OOS and flash it. Factory wipe from stock recovery. Once booted, install android auto and 3rd party apps. Test if it works, if so...
2. Sign in google account and update to 5.0.4 via OOS updater
3. Once rebooted into 5.0.4, take OB4 and stick it onto root, and reboot to recovery again
4. I dirty flashed OB4 over 5.0.4 and it seems to work fine!
I haven't tested this in my car yet, I will be on a long drive tomorrow and update results.
Waze on android auto
Waze is working parallel to google Maps without any problems. When you open navigate both programs are shown.
Damn I just noticed it. My maps work but I tried to open Google play music and got the same error.
That was the one thing that consistently worked for me. Which rom are you on?
