I just installed the august patch (from here) but had to uninstall some apps like TiBu (for a different reason). Now, when I want to install it, it crashes before it can even start. but it only with TiBu. It also doesn't matter if I install it from play or sideload the apk from apkmirror or if I first boot TWRP and wipe cache and dalvik-cache.
I think I remember some problem with TiBu a few years back where Play Protect caused some issues but turning it off also doesn't help.
So has the August patch broken TiBu, or what can I try to get it back running? Don't really want to do a factory reset for that...

The first time I rooted and unlocked my bootloader, then flashing AOKP 4.0.3, all my apps started to be downloaded automatically and installed after signing in to my google account. I've just flashed AOKP 4.0.4 (after wiping data) this time, but my apps did not install automatically. In the Play Store app, all my previous apps did show up in the "My Apps">"All" tab, but I now have to go and install each and everyone manually. Any ideas?
Broken signature on Google backup transport.
How do you fix that? Ive had this problem in the past as well.
I'd also like to know how to repair this.
Last friday i open youtube and a diologue box pops out that i have to update the services process gapps ( com.google.process.gapps ) to use youtube. It automatically redirect me to the store... it seems legit so i update.
Last time when i download the previous update for the service (like 6 months ago) i did the same thing: used link2sd to integrate the update into system, reset to cwm and wipe dalvik and cache. Then i used a script to odex the system... it worked without problems, but not this time...
It keep crushing a lot. It's making me crazy.
I've tried some solutions that i find in the web, like:
- Rebot and wipe dalvik - not work
- Try to erase the google acount - it cannot be done because "some apps are related to, but you can do a factory reset". Of course i wont, i have much data.
So, do you guys have any other solution?
I was going to make a nandroid backup and then install an old gapp that comes with the ROM i use.
It is safe? Or do you recomend something else.

if you have a working nandroid backup, it should be safe, no?
i had a similar problem; i integrated an update to "google play services", didn't wipe anything or odex anything. i had some problems with the search storage (note: i do not even know if it was caused by the update integration, maybe it was due to the gapps package i used), so i tried the same thing you tried: i uninstalled that app, rebooted, and flashed the same gapps package which i originally used when i installed the custom rom. everything went to hell afterwards (force close party). i ended up wiping and re-flashing the rom and another gapps package.
i learned my lesson: do not mess with core system apps, do not integrate their updates. also, it is not possible to revert that integration should you later wish to do so, except if you did a backup before, obviously.
i am sorry if i couldn't be of more help, i primarily wanted to warn other users.
I would just uninstall Google Play Services and install it again from Play Store, this time just leave it on the /data partition or link it to SD with Link2SD.
Recently tried to flash a blacked out version of Google Play Store, used TWRP, after reboot, i opened up the play store and it closed on me. I deleted the blacked out version, install play store again and still closes on me. I googled the "Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped" error, tried all the suggestions but to no avail, cleared data, cache, rebooted into recovery, cleared cache. The store will open up, but as soon as i hit update on any of my apps, it closes. Did i trigger something in my phone when i tried to flash the backout version of the play store? I even installed from a backup in Titanium and it also closes after i try to update any apps. I do have a nandroid backup but dont want to resort to that just yet. Thanking you in advance for any help in this matter. HTC M8 rooted

Now is the time to use the nandroid backup.. or titanium backup user apps and reflash. This is the reason you make nandroid backups so you don't have to waste hours trying to fix silly issues like this. I make one every day and save it to the PC So I can always restore without worrying about losing a new app or setting.

Restored nan backup and updating all my apps from the play store, thanks for your response, I still wish I knew what could have caused this problem. This backup is four days old so I have lots to update and install. Again, many thanks
First update since installing Lineageos on Lenovo P2.
The navigation bar along the bottom disappeared. Couldn't be swiped up - had been fixed previously.
Then found other things as well. Fingerprint sensor not working. Pixel launcher failing. Had been using Nova launcher and foolishly removed it thinking I'd reinstall to see if it restored the nav bar. But now stuck with a failing launcher and can't start anything - including Play to reinstall Nova. Just says 'Pixel Launcher keeps stopping, App info, Close App.' Cleared cache from App info as that was all I could do but no difference.
I haven't read it anywhere but are updates cumulative? Ie, can I skip one if I miss it and get all updates rolled up into the next one. I hope so because that's what I did. Jumped from something like 9th August to 30th.
Any ideas?
Current update always include codes from previous builds so you can skip nightlies in between. There are few solutions for your problem. I'm telling you two:
1. Install a third party launcher apk through system settings
2. Reboot into TWRP, wipe system only and install latest update package with nano gApps and it should work.

Thanks so much for your help. In fact, while trying your first suggestion I somehow got into Google Play through APK install settings from where I was able to reinstall Nova Launcher. So now I have a partly useable phone again but still with the problems that followed the update in my OP (navigation bar gone, fingerprint sensor stopped working plus the failing launcher - those are just the things I found without looking).
It's disappointing that the update failed though, not least as staying updated was a major reason for moving to Lineage. Any ideas why this might be?
Maybe I should try the second suggestion and reinstall the update by sideloading as described here. So do I use the same file that I use to install LineageOS in the first place from here https://download.lineageos.org/kuntao? It's not stated in the document. And will this wipe the phone clean again?
Finally would I have to re-sideload a GApps package at the same time and should it be Nano GApps as suggested? Originally I installed Open GApps as suggested in the upgrade instructions.

The Pixel launcher in Android 10 force closes if it is not chosen as "Recents provider". Therefore, navigation bar also stops working. Hence, we need Quickswitch app to choose Pixel or any other launcher such as Lawnchair for giving them the mentioned right and that works without any hiccups.
You should install the latest update after wiping system only. You don't need to wipe everything, just wipe system partition.
Nano GApps are taken from Open Gapps website. I've suggested nano GApps because it doesnt include Pixel Launcher hence, stock ROM launcher will flawlessly work. However, if you want to use Pixel Launcher then install Magisk from recovery and Quickswitch module within Magisk. Then open Quickswitch app from launcher and click Pixel Launcher. Quickswitch app will process for a few moments and will restart your phone. Now, choose Pixel launcher as default from settings if it is not used as default and Done.

Many thanks again for your detailed help. Much appreciated.
Went for standard Open GApps just because that's what I had before and had hoped to get it all back as it was. (I've no particular preference for Pixel only that was all that was available to me after updating through updater. ) I've got the update loaded now, sideloaded with adb and TWRP. Unfortunately I seem to have accidentally factory reset from TWRP (thought I was just swiping to unlock and only noticed too late. Doh.)
TBH, this has been a whole lot of hassle for an update. After hours to get this far now have to set phone up from scratch yet again. And crucially, I still don't know why updater failed. Going to be very nervous about running update in future and staying updated was the main point of moving to Lineage in the first place.
But thanks for help again.

No problem bro. Next time, when you update, follow these things:
1. Keep ROM, Magisk and GApps in a single folder.
2. When updating ROM, just install the ROM and restart.

Thanks again. That's good information. So you recommend not using the Updater but adb sideloading instead?
OK, and I just read this at stackexchange "You normally don't need to re-flash GApps as most GApps installers will install an addon.d script which restores GApps automatically after flashing a new ROM that supports addon.d (LineageOS does so)." So if GApps is in the same folder it finds it automatically I guess.
I'd better clue myself up on Magisk now and a decent backup system.
cheers

Built in update works as required but if it messes with system partition then you better download update and install it through recovery.
GApps can be restored after update but the point is that you don't need it. System update only replaces the older system files with new ones without touching gApps files. Whereas, Magisk is automatically installed after update if it's in the same folder.
Out of nowhere I can't install or update anything on my G8 anymore. I figured it had to do with a magisk module so I disabled each and every module except for lsposed through zygisk, to no avail. My next step was to disable all of magisk clear all the data/cache on play store, play services, package manager, and download manager. That still didn't work. So I factory reset losing magisk altogether, still nothing. So I hard reset through recovery still nothing. I also repeated clearing cache/data after the resets. Has anyone else came across a problem like this and has a solution? Sometimes the error when installing an app is package not installed as it appears to be invalid. Yes, I am sure I downloaded the right apk. In the play store it will download to 100% and as soon as the install starts it just like resets like I never hit install. And on updates it will download 100% then stop on the update and it says couldn't update. I'm pulling my hair out here.
On a side note I had to drop twrp last week do to it being stuck on the twrp splash screen then restarting to twrp and doing the whole thing over again. Eventually I couldn't even boot into three os so I refreshed my original boot.bin that I patched with magisk previously
Edit
I installed aptoide and when trying to install am app out said I stl had root permission. And when trying to clear cache through recovery it throws an error art me. Nothing specific just says error. I guess next time I'm at my pc I'll reflash my boot files through qfil and try a factory reset afterwards.
Edit 2***
I was able to install the gta v ifruit app from apkmirror so my little niece could play with chop but even though it installed, when I open the app it says downloading application data failed. Anybody have a clue on wth is going on with my phone. I haven't restored factory yet because I'm kind off curious as to what is causing this problem. I was able to randomly install an app from the play store today after a data clear and restart. I'm thinking I true wipe/format isn't possible without twrp because this factory recovery isn't cutting it.
