Prroblem with Google Keep

I rooted my Canvas A1 using philz recovery to CM 12.1 Sprout 4 Nightly the Google Apps package was taken as mentioned on droidone site with.cf domain. The package provided Google App and Play Store only and I installed all other Google Apps separately. While the Gmail, Drive and others are working fine, Google Keep is unable to start. It crashes at the very beginning.
Don't know it's the package or app or any other thing which is causing this.
Dear members please provide the solution to resolve this problem.
A big thanks in advance :fingers-crossed:

I had the same problem. My notes, contact and most of the other data was also gone.
You must try singing syncing your Google account.

Help installing Google Maps only on LineageOS/MicroG bundle

Hi, I am new to modding but have managed to install LineageOS bundled with MicroG onto my Moto G (2015) (LineageOS 'osprey' build).
I now want to install Google Maps only via the least painful method with the absolute minimum contact with the Google ecosystem.
I tried OpenGApps but it seems to have a lot of crud that I don't want. I tried installing Playmaker via TWRP but it said the zip file was an 'invalid zip format'.
Is there any method directly via an apk or some such or will I have to use a repository of some kind? In either case could someone please advise on the best way to proceed?
Thanks kindly in advance!

In f-droif search for yalp. It's a play store substitute. There search and install maps. And believe me: maps is Google. Alternatives Waze(bought by Google) maps.me osmand

Thanks very much fella, went with Yalp, works a charm!

Someone else has the problem of gyroscope \ wrong direction with gmaps and microG?

Lol.
Dont use microg.
Dont use gapps.
Dont use google maps.
Open your webbrowser (preffer bromite) and then go to google.maps.com or whatever the site is...
No need to install things that can also be accessed via a browser...

Open Street Maps (osmand) is opensource and excellent. All maps are downloaded locally and as long as you have a GPS fix, it works without a cell connection. (assuming you have the maps). The database (addresses) is not as refined as others but works well and avoids using G and F.
https://osmand.net/
Of course they have G and Amazon app store links. Avoid that, if you contact them they might give you a download link for their apk after payment on amazon. Did not have to install the Amazon app store, just used them for payment.
Open street maps also has a website.
https://www.openstreetmap.org/
@Privacydroid is right-on, don't install apps you have not examined for their network activity. Especially if you can access on a browser (some of which can be configured to block useless domains).

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

Use an alternative app store like aptoide

SMT 520 unable to load google play services on Resurrection remix 7.1.2

Having been impressed by Nougat on my wife's tablet I decided to flash mine: so far so good and OK with Gapps.
But I would like to be able to sync with my Google account and access Playstore etc. as I can't find many of the apps I use on other sites.
I have tried various versions of Play Services which install but do not seem to work all with prefix 40040
Any advice gratefully received.
Or should I just reload Kit Kat ?? Is that possible and where would I get basic apps.
Thanks in advance
Nick

Google Service Framework after the fact Lineage 16

I have a Moto X4 Android One XT1900.1 and absolutely had it with Google. In a whim I decided not in install any Google Apps when I did my install. Not knowing that some apps were not going to work without Google Service Framework now I need to fix this this. I'm fine without Google Apps but I'd like to be able to run Authy and my Bitcoin wallet and they require GSF. Please help.

Heard about microG? Nanodroid is a good installer for that.
