Repairing lineage os crashing Google photos without data loss - Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers

Ever since I installed lineage on chiron I had Google photos crashing at start-up.
Everyone is telling to reinstall and don't reboot between lineage and gapps.
Is there a way to "repair" gapps without starting all over?

Help me with google apps

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
regards

Think I screwed up my installation of LineageOS 15.1 on my Mi Mix 2. How to fix it?

Alright, so just to put it out there, I was way too eager with this. I'm coming over from an iPhone 5 to my very first Android phone, and I chose the Mi Mix 2 because the price to feature ratio was fantastic. I didn't fully understand the procedures, and I'm here to learn and get help from all you smart people.
The Issues: Installed LineageOS 15.1, then screwed up when installing GApps, didn't get Play Store. So I restored to a TWRP backup I made during the process, reflashed everything, but now I have too many GApps and only 48GB available, compared to MIUI's 55GB.
The Details: Installed LineageOS 15.1, GApps via the "Aroma" installer, and Magisk 16.0. Somehow I didn't install the Google Play Store, so I tried to reinstall everything by restoring to the TWRP backup I made as recommended by the official LineageOS install guide. From there, I re-flashed LineageOS, GApps "Stock", and Magisk 16.0. Had some trouble booting into LOS, but eventually did, only to realize I didn't want that many GApps. And, the available memory is only 48GB compared to MIUI's 55GB. I'm not sure if that's just LOS and GApps, or if I screwed something up with my meddling. Current assumption is the latter.
The Questions: I want to reinstall everything the cleanest way possible. Fresh LineageOS, fresh GApps, and no Magisk. My goal is to have Google Play Store, Google Drive, Gmail, YouTube, and that's about it from GApps. How do I fix what I've screwed up? And, furthermore, in case I don't like LineageOS, how can I go from LineageOS to Xiaomi.eu? Is it as simple as following the install guide for Xiaomi.eu?
Thank you for taking the time to help me. I do feel pretty dumb for not understanding the process more before starting, but hindsight is 20/20. I've learned my lesson for sure, and I'm excited to learn the correct process for doing all of this.

Hey!
For a clean reinstall boot into TWRP, wipe system, data, cache and dalvik cache.
Then flash lineageos, the PICO gapps from https://opengapps.org and magisk. Those are the barebones google framework and include just enough for the play store and the play store itself. If you need any other google apps just download them from the play store.
I always use the pico package, because it works best on every ROM, some ROM devs even recommend it.
And if you wanna go back to MIUI, I strongly recommend you to use the official Global. Xiaomi.EU is in my opinion the worst MIUI experience.
Welcome to Android btw!

Why do you don't like MIUI.EU? I used it for a while before switching to LOS and I found it to be more smooth than Global

It's just so badly executed for example the 5 seconds you have to everytime you want to open the updater to simpy to boot into the recovery. They fix bigs from MIUI, but not the ones that they slam into their builds. On my last phone, which was a china exclusive, I had to use the EU ROM if I wanted to use MIUI, but my experience was so bad that it forced me to go back to lineage. Then when I gave it another shot with their MIUI 10 ROM, they hadn't fixed a single of their bugs, so I just went back to Global. And global is very smooth for me. Plus: the EU devs and moderators are just rude.

Gapps not working

Hello there everybody.
I hope that this article finds you in great health. I have a galaxy tab 3 and i have just installed the unofficial lineageOS 14.1 on it. But then a pop up came up saying the google play services has stopped working, and kept coming back up every 5-10 seconds. None of the google apps is working. I have tried rebooting, clearing cash amd force stopping, wiping my data, and even installing the OS and the Gapps again, but nothing seems to work!
I have now installed the OS without the Gapps temporarily. Can anyone help?
Hi.
I can confirm your problem. Nearly a week ago play services started to trouble my device. I´m back to stock a least for the moment.

Updating Lineage OS 16 causes issues with installed OpenGApps

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...
