[BUG] Google Keyboard

Hello,
I am having the following issue when trying to install the newly released Google Keyboard update from Play:
Package file was not signed correctly.
I cant uninstall the CM11's ASOP keyboard -- tried deleting it with Titanium and even when its gone i get the same error.
I am running latest nightly release on the CM11 for my Gnex.
Please help!

I'm curious, why install google keyboard? Isn't it similar enough, feature wise, to the AOSP keyboard? In fact, aren't they the same? I think the google keyboard is for those stock devices that only have the manufacturers custom keyboard installed. You already have it installed on CM11, maybe that's why you're getting an error.

I don't think aosp and google kb are exactly the same.
plus, if it's showing as an update thru play and the error is coming, then not getting the newest fixes&features.
I would check to see that you don't have some version of it being installed by gapps being used or something. one that is themed maybe or customized will usually contain a different signature than the official one.
also, after you delete it and/or uninstall, reboot device before trying to install thru play.

Hey guys, id like to install the Google Keyboard because it has new features that i really like. It doesn not show as an update to the CM11 AOSP keyboard, it is a separete app.
Also restarting after uninstalling/moving the CM11 keyboard's .apk did not help
Any other suggestions on how to get the google apk installed?
Thanks

is 440 the latest version? i flashed the apk and i lost the "ok google from any screen" feature. it's a minor detail, but i'm curious why that happened? do you happen to know where i can get the old apk?
this is the option screen now. there used to be an option to enable that feature from any screen

i found where to download the APKs. i updated to the latest Google Play Services version (470) and the OK Google ok any screen feature is still absent. not sure why they removed it. guess it may be using up too much battery?

do you know if there's a way to get the new anims in 5.5.8 to work without changing the sdk version from 21 to 22? Or are you doing without em?
i know version 22 is meant for 5.1 but i want the new anims, and as soon as i changed it to 22 play store started giving me errors, (obviously)

Is this "stock" G-Services? I mean, are they secure to get? As I find it weird my phone don't update manually if there is a new version available + it now ask for permission to route phone calls.

Updated.

Updated with latest Play Store and G-Play Services!

Updated!

I saw this A while a while ago: http://phandroid.com/2015/09/07/how-to-use-android-pay-2/
Seems, at the time of this writing, you should download -440 if your using version 5.
-240 if it's version 8.

I found the file myself and have uploaded on the cloud to help others in need. In fact this is a newer version of the firmware and working great. I am using this version on the mirror that looks like the one in attached pic.
The firmware can be found at the MEGA link below. Just use Phoenixcard software to burn the sd card as "product", insert the card in mirror and boot. It will load the firmware, takes about a minute, and will turn off. Take the card out, turn on the mirror and all set. Reformat the card as normal and continue using it. If phoenixcard doesnt run on windows 10, try to run in compatibility mode for windows 7.

I dont know why there is a space coming before 0NVc but if you remove that, it will work.

Tengo una table china android estaba dando todo tipo de errores de firmware. Ahora no consigo el original ...
La version original del firmware era:
v2.0 astar_botton-eng 4.4.2 KVT49L 20150407 test-keys

I have a mirror (identical to RT01 or Phisung Q7) with a newer version of the same firmware (astar_evb-eng 4.4.2 KVT49L 20160510). However, it´s also acting up I'm getting a very basic UI with no app management function or even system info. Can't even select more than one song at a time or build a playlist. CarService stops frequently. Maps and Waze hang all the time. 491 error when trying to download anything from Play Store. Other times I get the "your device isn't compatible with this version" message when trying to update things like Chrome or Google Play Services. Will this older firmware provide a more functional interface and better performance despite being a month older? Thx!

Hi Nitagro, I have an Android model 173467, Quadcore A33, Android 4.4.2, firmware v2.1, kernel version 3.4.39, [email protected] #1, build number astar_86v2g-eng 4.4.2 KVT49L 20161208 test-keys
Would the version you uploaded work for me, and could you explain how to do this please?
Many thanks in advance! I want to let my 6 year old use this tablet, and it crashes all the time, and when I connect a pc to it, I can't connect.

Moto G5 not compatible with Android Auto?

I can't find Android Auto on the playstore on my phone, and when I go to the playstore from my PC it tells me that "This app is incompatible with all of your devices."
Is it really incompatible, or maybe this is because Android Auto is not yet available in my country?

As far as I can tell the only requirements for the app itself is android lollipop and above so it probably is geo restricted
Since I don't have your device anymore I can't check
I have included the app in the attachment below though for you to install yourself

It is compatible, I am using it and installed it from play store. Maybe clear the Play store cache? AS pointed out you can also just install the apk (also from apkmirror)

Thanks. Are you using it with the G5 or the G5 Plus?
What is strange is that it is telling me that it is incompatible with my device, and not that it is not available in my country, as it happens with some other apps.
Is it is safe to install it with an .apk, and would I receive updates if I do it that way?

The apk I posted was downloaded by myself from the playstore so totally safe
You would only get updates if It is available in your playstore & even then you may have to uninstall & reinstall depending on app signatures if different in different locations

Thanks. If I can get confirmation that it should work with the moto g5 (not the plus) then I will try it out.
Any reason why Google would have country restrictions on Android Auto? The cars are the same, the apps (maps, music etc) work fine, so why place restrictions on Android Auto? Apple doesn't seem to have any such restriction with Car Play (in my country at least)

Why do you need confirmation to try it? Just try it - it will either install or say app not installed
Like I said the only min requirements is lollipop so no reason why the app won't install
Some apps maybe geo restricted for licensing purposes - if Googling why the app isn't available in your country doesn't come up with anything the only thing you can do is contact the app developer

He may think you provided a virus.

Lol by all means scan it - decompile it & check it
If you know my reputation around here you know I provide support
I used to be a recognised contributor but left xda for a while
Also I provided the official twrp for this device
So looking through my past posts/threads you will see the kind of support I provide

Of course, I mean you work on twrp for g5 and yet someone still manages to be suspicious

I am not suspicious I just want to know if it actually works! If this is not a country thing, maybe they marked this phone as incompatible for a good reason. I don't yet have a car with Android Auto so I can't fully test it now. Maybe it would run on the phone itself, but then fail to connect to the car (I've seen reports of this happening for several phones including different versions of the Moto G). Or maybe there is some other kind of bug that only shows up once connected to a car...

The only person that can answer your question would be the app developer
Would be quicker & easier to test yourself as the chance of someone with a moto g5 & the car you might have with android auto support would be highly unlikely
In these situations it's always better to just try yourself or contact the app developer for support

I installed the apk that TheFixItMan has provided and it works fine, on both the phone and a car I tried it with for a few minutes. Thanks!
As it was said previously I can't update Android auto from the play store now, so I assume at some point it might stop working properly. Should I just get a new apk every time I need an update?

Yes just get the latest apk
As long as it's just the version that is on the playstore (unmodified) like I provided you can just update it without having to uninstall previous version

Question RM 6 Pro: unable to switch to Global ROM V425 using official method

I'm trying to install the Global ROM V425 using the official method given on Nubia's website, but it's not working. If anyone can help me solve the problem, I'll be so grateful!
I downloaded V425 from the official download page and copied the NX669J-update.zip file to the root directory of the phone, then tried to do the update as follows:
Settings >> System Update >> ... >> Local update >> select the file >> Only install
After about 10 seconds, I got this error:
Upgrade package and the current phone version does not match, can not be updated, please check the current version is obtained from the official channel
I'm not sure what to do now, and having seen that error message I'm now afraid that if I try any other method for the update I might brick the phone, since I've already been warned that the software is not compatible.
The current software version is NX669J_CNCommon_V7.14 and when I checked for updates I got a message telling me the current version is the latest.
Phone info...
Model: NX669J-P
Red Magic OS: V4.5
Build number: NX669J_CNCommon_V7.14
Android version: 11
Hardware version: NX669J_V1AMB
Thanks for reading and I hope you can help!

UPDATE: I noticed that in the About Phone section the device name is "腾讯红魔游戏手机6Pro" which translates to "Tencent Red Magic Game Phone 6Pro".
Seems it might be the Tencent version of the phone. Could this be the reason I'm getting the error message? Is it possible to put the Global ROM on the Tencent version?

Hi,
I am originally using global version with the latest updated v4.25 rom since September and i think you are using the tencent set with CN rom installed on your device. Why would you change to global? Is it cooler with CN rom? I bet you will regret you will lose so many features that you can get on CN if you are migrating to the Global rom.

The main reason is that the phone's current ROM doesn't have Google apps/services

Is it possible to sideload Google apps onto this device with current ROM or the only way is to flash global ROM?

If i am not mistaken, you can download the PlayStore from apkpure website - https://m.apkpure.com/google-play-store/com.android.vending and start to use Google application afterwards once successfully installed on the CN rom device you are using.

Thanks a lot - maybe I have been overcomplicating this issue! Will check and see if j can get it installed

That's fine. But some Google apps will not working at all eg like Gmail or Google Duo (i am not very sure exactly) because it still recognise your device status. You may check one by one any Google apps downloaded from the PlayStore later
