Well, the problem is that i've flashed and installed a new ROM to my phone, which it means I had to erase every single app on my device. I did backed my apps and I already have installed them, but and as many should know, they won't update because they weren't downloaded originaly and directly from the market. That's all I want, find a way to update the apps installed from my SD. Any help would really be apreciated and by the way, this is my first post.
Hi all,
OK so before I start let me convince you that I have put in a fair bit of effort and done some research before I post this. I have been working to solve this for two night now to no avail.
I have been playing Gameloft's Modern Combat 2 for a few weeks now on my TF, it runs great and I love it. Yes I am using the proper APK and yes I know it is not officially supported on the TF but if it was I would be the first to buy this game.
As I said it has been running fine until a few days ago. Suddenly when I launched the app, it FC.
In between playing the game I have been updating and wiping and flashing my ROM (primarily PRIME rom) with every update that came out in the past weeks/months. Never did I have any problem. When I did a full wipe, I just reinstalled the proper APK and let the data download over wifi.
What I have tried now:
- Removed the app, removed the data, reboot and reinstalled.
- Replaced the data folder from a buddy of mine where the game runs
- Superwiped, reinstalled Prime rom with latest updates and installed the apk and downloaded data
- Superwiped, reinstalled Prime rom with latest updates and installed the apk and copied working data folder
- Superwiped, reinstalled Krakd rom with latest updates and installed the apk and copied working data folder
Whatever I do, it keeps FC. I am 100% positive I have the correct apk for Tegra 2.
It leaves me clueless as to why it keeps FC instantly when I open the app, while I have no problem with any other app. Nova 2 HD and other Gameloft games are working fine.
If anyone has any suggestion what to try next I would be happy to hear.
When you use the term "proper" you bought this game? and took the apk and loaded on on the Transformer and the latest new rom now is causing it to crash ?
I am running omni ROM 4.4.4 and have tried to install GAMES on the device the only apps that will install are utilities example: CPU-Z, TWRP Manager, Busybox. But GAMES wont for another example: Dady Long Legs wont install from google play or .APK file. Is this a common problem with this ROM because MeanBean didnt have this problem. Everything downloads just fine and I have over enough storage. And my phone is a HTC EVO 4G LTE (JEWEL) (S-OFF)
I recently flashed Zulu99's Full Android 1.8 rom on my 16gb shield tv and it loads 5.1 just fine, but after flashing any Gapps i get the same "Unfortunately Google Play services has stopped." message at the welcome screen and after skipping setup and trying to add an account or signing into google apps i get the same message over and over again. Should i use a certain Gapps package for the rom?
EDIT: I'm wrong. Ignore this post.
i found out those works.

You will have to flash your system again without the gapps then install this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/gapps-google-apps-minimal-edition-t2943330
And if you have video playback problems you will need to downgrade the shield tv to version 1.3 before flash everything again.
Good luck!
Sorry for the delay
My issue is resolved now. Thought i would post the fix.
Turns out i needed to wipe everything in TWRP using advanced wipe option and flash again, i had to wipe everything but the external storage and then i had to flash full android 1.8 and then the arm64 5.1 gapps from open gapps again. After that i was able to sign into Google Play, but now i have a new problem. some apps i installed when in shield tv 1.4 are now showing as incompatable in google play. Not sure if it has something to do with downgrading to 1.3 to fix the video issues i had.

I have the same problem about some app saying incompatible in the play store but I guess it is more a problem related with full android 1.8 being a stock android 5.1 and not a android tv version.
But as stock you have still a lot more apps compatibles.
In the worst case you can still use another market,or use a computer with a apk downloaded extension or directly download the apk you need.
I installed a lots of incompatible apps without problems on mine,it is mostly test and try.
Note if you want to gain back the ability to move apps to sd, link2sd is compatible if you format the sd correctly. Most games do not mind you use it to move obb and ext data to sd to save some space on the 16gb shield tv.

Well in this case you will need a mapper like tincore or controller2touch or something like that I guess.
Will this file also work?
gapps-5.1-arm64-2015-07-17-15-08
Seems to be more recent. Not sure if relevant, probably the other one will update itself.

I just installed slim 6.0.1. after trying to install the gapps I got error 70(Insufficient storage space available in System partition) and the instalation was canceled.
I rebooted the phone and saw there were installed only some basic apps with no use. So I tried to download from the AOSP browser a smaller gapp package, but
every time i hit the download button the browser crashed. Same thing happend with other downloads too.
SO I dont have any apps in my phone and I cant download any.
I need desperately some help ASAP!!!!
PS: cant sent files throu usb cause pc doesnt detect phone (propably brocken pins in phone's usb port)
edit: i was able to push gapps from pc via adb
Does the phone work properly with a stock rom? It happens with other custom ROMs?
You can send files over FTP using your Wi-Fi connection. As for your problem, try formatting system, then flash the ROM again. Take care that the updating script might throw you an Error Code - 7, because it failed to detect the info of the device. Google how to remove that part from the script in the zip and transfer the modified zip over Wi-Fi. Also, you might want to flash the nano package and get all other apps you need from the Play Store.
