Hey Guys,
I need your help. Long time ago I installed winamp 1.2.9 on my device but yesterday I've noticed that there is no shortcut listed to start the App.
So I tried to figure out why. I tried to install the apk file again but it fails telling Install not being successful.
I tried the newer version of Winamp on the Market but again install fails telling Not Compatible update!
I tried to locate the Winamp Files in System Folder an deleted them successfully. But again the same problem.
Tried to wipe cache and dalvik --> Boot loop
Is there a way to clean deinstall the App manually in order to re install the new version?
Using Kindle Stock ROm ver. 6.3.1 rooted
Thank you so much in advance

part of the problem may lie in the fact that your using rooted stock dunno? have you tried something like root uninstaller pro? to remove the app also I hate to say this to everyone as a fix sometimes it does work out for the better truthfully I have never see it not but you can flash modaco found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439916 right over your existing system without wiping that might clear up any chances of permission issues as far as removing an app. As far as updating an app just because it shows available doesnt mean that it is for your device compatibility issues are usually that way for a reason maybe it doesnt like gingerbread?? but there is another option you could always just sideload it instead and see if it takes and functions correctly good luck
I have provided my dropbox link to you in a pm give it a shot doesn`t mean that the icon will show in your apps though
I decided to update my phone from CM13 to CM14.1 the other day without having read anything about CM14 and not realising how new it was (yes I know, stupid thing to do!).
So after the update I've had nothing but problems with google services not working properly, so I uninstalled google services from the apps menu within the phone, downloaded the Android 7.1, ARM, Stock version of GAPPS from opengapps.org and booted my phone into TWRP and flashed the newest version of gapps.
This fixed the issue with google services not responding, however now none of my apps work.
Anytime I try to load an app such as facebook, email, browser. My phone will freeze for several minutes and then the app will just tell me its stopped responding.
Does anybody have any advice on what to do? (I dont care if the result is that I have to wipe the phone and lose everything on it, just want my phone to work again!)
Edit: an additional piece of info, any time I try to do something that requires root access (for example moving an app to my SD card) my phone will tell me that I don't have root access, even though I must because I'm using cyanogenmod...

Try doing a clean flash of the rom along with the respective gapps package. You have to flash the rom and gapps together. And for the root issue, you have to first turn ON root from the developer options in settings.

Hi guys, is there a way to change the carrier name? The correct name for my carrier is "telecom Italia spa", not "... Italiz spa". Thanks in advance.
When installing some of the apps like IFTTT,adapticons and greenify(the most imp. app for this phone ) the phone starts rebooting and stuck on the boot image the only solution i could find is either formatting phone or deleting app data from file manager with the help of TWRP.The phone starts rebooting when the app just finished downloading from play store and starts installing.And i try to install the same apps from external source it happens again but the difference is only that this time a message prompt arrives and says play store stopped working.It happens in all the ROMS. I have tried to clear the whole internal storage(excluding recovery,obviously ) but the issue doesn't get fixed...
What can i do to solve this problem?
did you manage to solve it?

The solution
The only Marshmallow Rom without this issue is AOSP rom, but If you still wanna use other 6.0 Rom you will have to use older version of apps which are causing bootloops.
Also Nougat Rom's don't have this problem but I don't find them stable enough for daily use.

This happens for the "Android System Webview" apk. To solve this issue, here's a step by step guide:
1. Download Android System Webview by Google. (Not from play store. Must be downloaded as an APK)
2. Delete Current Webview with a root browser. (Es file explorer recommended. Located in system/apps/webview.)
3. Reboot device.
4. Now Install the new webview you downloaded.
Problem solved.
Tested and working successfully. Android 5.0.2 , 5.1, 6.0 All ROM with this issue is.... fixed with this method. Tested on all ROMs.
Enjoy.
---------- Post added at 03:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:12 PM ----------
The webview implements a code into the system to properly show the app package to system UI. But the default Android System Webview which comes with the system is kinda bugged. It conflicts with some apps package. This conflict mess up the system... crashing the UI, then the whole system itself. So the device reboots and/or gets stuck in bootloop. Removing the preinstalled webview will solve the issue. I have posted the step by step guide above.
I have had a problem loading Android Auto (AA) on my LG G4. I have rooted with Steadfaster's UsU and installed his Lineage 15.1 rom, opengapps nano (Sept 30) and the phone is working great. Prior to rooting the phone AA worked fine with MM 6.0. After rooting the phone, when I open the AA app on the phone I get the error "Something went wrong. Google play services doesn't seem to be working right now". The error comes up immediately and then the app closes. I tried plugged into in the car as well (Pioneer AVIC 4200 deck), but the error stops the phone when opened.
I have been through Google's forums and there have been lots of posts about this error and no real solutions for me posted. I have also tried other "fixes" I have come across, including this one - https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/delete-disable-downgrade-prevent-update-t3091832/. This method involves:
1. Download and install System App Remover from the Google Play Store.
2. Put your device in Airplane Mode in order to prevent auto upgrade of GPS.
3. Open System App Remover and select "System App" from the menu.
4. Find Google Play Services in the list. It should be marked "Should keep", which is a suggestion from the publisher. Select it and press "Uninstall". Ignore completion message.
5. Using Settings/Apps, verify that Google Play Services has reverted to the factory-supplied version. It should be <7. "Force Stop", "Uninstall Updates", and "Disable" buttons should no longer be grayed out.
7. Reboot device and toggle Airplane Mode off.
I followed these steps, but unfortunately stock seems to be the version that came with opengapps which is current.
I'm out of ideas with this problem and need some help. AA is a great app for me and really handy on long trips. I would like to get it running if at all possible.
Appreciate any help you can provide.

Even when it sounds obvious but have you installed AA clean so without restoring data from a backup? Do you have tried to completely factory reset the phone? Do you have tried to format data in TWRP? Obviously you should have a backup of your internal storage when doing so .
You should also catch a logcat when starting the app

After rooting with UsU I followed sdembiske's recommendations for installing Lineage. This included a factory reset and formatting data with TWRP. I then installed Lineage 15.1 UsU and opengapps nano and then installed the apps I wanted. AA went on clean without restoring data. I will capture a logcat and post.
Thanks

My first attempt at a logcat. I searched in Notepad++ and used carservice as the keyword. Some errors were shown. I don't know how to interpret them and would appreciate your help

I just searched a bit regarding the errors of your logcat and found this:
https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/nexus/-N8jJo7A8nI
maybe something there helps you out.
It seems definitively an issue with google play app/updates..
btw: I have just installed AA here without an issue, running LOS 15.1 on my h815..

I have been through that forum and tried the last post just now - uninstall updates, clear cache, open AA - and I immediately get the error.
I'm thinking about doing a Titanium backup on apps and data (minus AA) then wipe, reinstall LOS 15.2, TWRP, Lineage SU, do a reboot, reinstall AA first and if it works then run Titanium restore for apps and data.
Make sense?

Nevertheless I would to a titanium backup of play and AA BEFORE restoring as well..

Well I wiped cache, Dalvik, system and then formatted data, installed the 15.1 UsU rom, then installed Gapps, rebooted to recovery and installed the Lineage addonsu. I rebooted, went through setup and the first thing I did was open the Playstore install Android Auto and run it - immediate error again. Also the addonsu did not root the phone. And to top it all I did not disable the pin code.
Back to the drawing board.

I have been beating the bushes and looking for a solution. None so far. You mention AA worked on your phone. Are you running LOS 15.1 and if no, which rom? Also re your install can you look in apps and notifications and see if the more options * is shown on the AA app. I have it, but when I select it nothing happens. My old Nexus 5 the * works and Android Auto opens no problem. LOS 7.1.2.
Thanks

I run LOS 15.1 build 20181002 and at the time of installing that ROM version I used this opengapps version: open_gapps-arm64-8.1-nano-20180705.zip (download)
AA works here yes. I run it now for several days, daily, no issues here.
My version of AA is 3.7.584044 (attached: View attachment com.google.android.projection.gearhead-ffadc269cc39417e152ffcdd22183045.apk)
Not sure what you mean by "the more options *" but I've attached 2 screenshots of the app settings which may show what you meant.. if not show a pic of that setting.
oh you may meant the gear symbol at the top right? Here it opens fine but as that opens google stuff it makes sense that it fails on yours

Isn't mine basically the same as yours, other than H815? That gear icon will not open up the more options page. On my Nexus 5 with LOS 7.1.2 it opens a page with Settings for AA ie: Limit wifi, Connected cars, phone screen settings, etc.
If not the same maybe I should run your version of LOS.

I've mentioned and linked the opengapps version, attached the AA version and mentioned the exact build for a reason yes.
The idea was that you try the exact same setup.
btw: which model do you have?

H812 on the UsU Oreo build H812 build.
So I can copy what you have, other than I'm using the H812 versus the H815 LOS rom.
Thanks steadfasterX
steadfasterX, is it necessary that I format the data when I reload this rom. Takes a long time to restore everything.

Use my latest preview version of TWRP then you can backup your data AND internal storage . you can first try without format. if you still have issues try to format it and if it doesn't fix anything you can restore by TWRP but ensure that you use build 144 or higher
Sent from my LG-H815 using XDA Labs
OK, thanks again. Will give it a go. I have your latest TWRP, 144_g4_0.
On the positive side after all kinds of failed troubleshooting my G4 has all of a sudden decided to connect with my PC. It shows as H812 in Explorer and in Device Manager as Lemobile Android Device with Android Composite ADB Device driver. A lot easier than using Cloud.

Gave it a go, but as soon as I tapped on AA the error came up. I did format data to start from clean and used the older versions of AA and Google Play.
Update - I reinstalled all my apps via Titanium Pro (not AA) and set things up. I decided to tryy AA one more time before removing it and bingo it opened. Kinda waking on broken glass here and unsure whether or not the app will continue to function. Hooefully this fixed things.
Thanks again steadfasterX.
Hi.
I've got a strange problem trying to keep my Oneplus 3T up-to-date:
Everytime I flash a lineage OS nightly build (no matter if using the auto updater or the recovery) my smartphone tries to boot normally (displaying the lineage animation), but after a minute, the recovery is started.
To fix this, I have to remove or reinstall the Google Apps (OpenGApps), which normally results in all apps to have rights removed (no location services, no storage access, no phone access, ...)
Can somebody tell me if this is a normal behaviour? Or do I do something wrong? Is there a way to avoid this?
Best regards,
_X_

This is not normal. Maybe you should try to get a new version from open GApps.

OK, thanks for your help. So for the next update, I will install the newest version of GApps. I tried 2 versions (31.01 and 08.02), but both did show this behaviour... I hope this'll be fixed soon...
