Guys i wanna know if its safe to freeze google services framework as i have all the google apps disabled (playstore maps youtube search etc) ..
Ps. I had recently flash a xperia p with a cm11 mod but didnt flash the gapps package so it doesnt hav google services framework installed either.. So i can freeze that on galaxy y too right?
It says Google Services Framework Provides account / login information to Google Apps , So if ever i do really need any of google apps i can just unfreeze it via titanium backup...

well.. if you do not use any gapps then it's okay to freeze google services framework..
yes.. Google Services Framework provides account/login information.. whenever i have to switch google account i just rename it to other name.. and clean datas/caches of other gapps and name it back again.. so i dont have to factory reset
just make sure you have frozen all google apps otherwise you will get so many force closes.. all google apps will start to fc.. happened to me lol.. :silly:
I have a similar question, what if my phone is running Google Services Framework and Google Play Services concurrently on my phone. No idea how that happened, but it was my understanding that GPS supplanted the functionality of GSF. Therefore, wouldn't it be safe to freeze GSF so long as GPS is still running?
the only thing i can say and suggest is to never use this damn play services.
Hello all..ive some problem with miui6 4.12.25 beta update..Google account is disappear on setting-add account.Ive installed all google application and services with google installer.apk but still not worked.I can use all google services but just option to add another google account.Flash gapps even flashed full rom still have a same problem.If any beta member have this problem? Thanks for reply me
It's the common problem in this update. You don't have an access to the account settings, but all of your settings including synchronization should be saved from your previous version..you can downgrade to the previous "update" or wait for the new one..xiaomi team is informed about this bug , so they should fix it soon ...
today i get an update for Google Play, after this, i get the "unfortunately google play services has stopped" message... at first, i go and delete the update of GooglePlay but the message don't disappeared.
lost 5 hrs and the problem is not solved.
What i do?:
Disable and delete Google Play Update
Delete all data from: GooglePlay, Contacts, Search, Translate, etc..(all google apps)
In recovery; Clear all Cache and Dalvik
Delete Google Account
After this point, I got angry and ...
Install a clean Rom and setup my account
What i get now? 2 problems:
if set up my account from the "Welcome Menu", the account is synchronized, but i get "unfortunately google play services has stopped" message every 30 or 50 seg...
if restore from titanium backup, the account isn't synchronized, i don't get the message....but i can't use Google Device Manager ("connecting.." and never finish), Maps, SmartLock...
Well, what i can do?...My account is now broken...:crying:
MyAccountGoogle don't have an option for delete all data stored from my S4....
I have at least +20 apps purchased, +12000 mails, +200 contacts, etc... and if delete my Google Acount, all will be lost.
Info:
Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-i9500
Rom: GearCM12 [20150506] (Android 5.0.2)
Recovery: TWRP 2.8.6.0
Any idea what can i do
Pd: sorry for my english

It's likely a bug in your ROM. We had this on CM12.1 optimized as well but a patch was made available the following day that fixed it. Until your ROM is patched there's not much you can do, though switching ROMs never hurts.
So basicly my google store stops working every time i click install on any application.Its like it crashes.I rooted my phone and blocked some applications because i thought i dont need them like KNOX and google movies or whatever.I had problem first that google play store was unable to connect to server.I changed this with etc folder changin some ip or whatever.But in the process one of the steps was to delete google play store and reinstall it so i did this then reinstall everything was good untill i tried to install a new application.The problem is not in proxy nor VPN i reset the phone with fabric settings clear chache,data on services store and framework , logget out and in on the google account enabled download manager and all the popular steps there are.I Think i screwed the google play store by reinstalling it and the system files and i dont know how to fix it.As i said my phone is rooted so if someone can guide me through fixing it.The problem with crash is mostly when i try to download app.Thanks in advance !
I suggest starting over by reflashing a stock ROM, flash TWRP, root, and then use titanium backup to freeze apps.
Hopefully this can help some people who don't want to use custom recovery or need root.
My MIX came with a vendor rom from gearbest "Global" 8.0.8.0.0 Stable. I was able to figure out that the bootloader was unlocked through the fastboot method. The vendor ROM didn't have the MIUnlock status within the developer options. I requested for unlock before I knew about the fastboot method. The updater app wouldn't work, no matter which app ROM from xiaomi I downloaded. It would always give me the cannot verify error. But I finally was able to flash to the Dev Rom (no eu) weekly build and then add gapps to it. None of this required twrp or rooting. So here are my steps that I went through. Yes there is Chinese bloatware, but many you can uninstall.
1. Make sure it's unlocked. I used the fastboot option via command prompt. I used this.
2. download XiaomiFlash (old version) here. The newest version kept giving me a Specified cast is invalid problem. you can read about it here
3. Download latest fastboot update Developer ROM.
4. Follow steps 4 through 6 on this webpage here. Make sure you decompress the .tgz file.
My vendor ROM had the Playstore access. But after the update, it was giving me a server error. So I installed the following apps in this order to get it working again. If at some point the install fails, then uninstall the app first and reinstall.
1. Install Google Services Framework 6.0.1
2. Install Google Play Services
3. Install Google Account Manager
4. Install Google Play Store
Reboot and you should have access to the google apps and start downloading other google apps. I then also started uninstalling all of the chinese apps that I couldn't read/understand.
If this is not new, then let this thread die. If this works for you. awesome.
Things that I still can't get to work
1. Android Pay
2. Google Play Movies still says this device is not supported.
3. Can't sync with google contacts
Update I haven't tested this, but you can try it on the Dev or the Stable

@Thorin78
A well put together resource is always welcome.
I think I have an answer/solution for some of your ongoing issues:
1) Android Pay not working:
The unlocked bootloader is probably the reason it's not working.I wouldn't recommend relocking it unless you're on an official Xiaomi ROM.
2) Cannot add new contacts:
I've run into that as well.For now, I'm just adding them on my PC via G-Mail (new contacts).Next time you sync on your phone & you should see the new contacts.
3) Google Play Movies issues may be a location issue.If the phone/Google settings isn't allowing for the exact area/country location where you are/Google Play Movies is official,then that may be the problem.
Loading one of the other ROMs may solve this.
These issues may possibly be solved utilizing root apps/Xposed/etc..... IDK,but,if one is savvy enough to unlock the bootloader/Root/ROM/install Xposed framework & modules,then they can likely find those solutions w/o any assistance.

Thanks @KOLIOSIS, I'm not as concerned w/ #1 and #3 so much. But now I can't get contacts to even sync or show up. It's quite weird. It's not part of the sync procedure.
I do agree, if people are already savvy enough to go through the entire process w/ twrp, they probably are better off w/ that procedure.
Anyways, if this isn't working for others either, hope it's made them more comfortable going the next step of twrp.

For whatever reason,(Google) contacts isn't automatically updating/syncing on the MIX.
Until there's a fix,you'll have to go to SETTINGS > ACCOUNTS > OTHER ACCOUNTS > GOOGLE
Tap on the affected Google account & tap CONTACTS.
Here's where part of the bug lies,as when doing so,the sync is turned off instead of syncing. Simply turn it back on & your contacts should update/match whatever you have on your desktop PC.

OK,now we're getting somewhere:
I've been running the EU ROM 6.12.xx & as of a couple days ago,the GlobeROM 6.12.22 (which looks identical to me) & have/had (Google) contacts on both.
Kinda odd,never seen contacts sync missing with any mfg/phone ROM I've run in the past & that list includes Huawei/OPPO/OnePlus & the typical better known mfgs most are familiar with.
Perhaps loading the Google Contacts app from the Google Play Store will kick it into gear...........................................

Ya, I've been searching on xiaomi forums too. Newp. I've uninstalled Google contacts, reinstalled google contacts (tho play store says it's incompatible).
Removed my google account, installed google contacts, google contacts sync and readded my google account through google contacts and still newp.
Everytime I start a google app, there's a new line added for Sync, but not for contacts.

Sounds like you've done your homework,IDK what else to suggest regarding contacts/syncing.
The only thing I can recommend is using the Nuclear Option & switching to either the EU ROM 6.12.xx (weekly) or the GlobeROM 6.12.xx
Oh this is the Xiaomi Dev GlobeROm.
But ya, EU ROM soon if I can't get this working. It's also interesting that I got root via the Permissions options in the settings.
I think someone fixed it from Xiaomi. Check here. You can download the apk, I haven't yet.

To get the google contacts working, you need to assigned all permission to it first then remove and add your google account again.

I had the same problem on my MIX. The 1st time I saved my contacts on another device as a .vcf file, and imported it from the MIX's contacts menu. Suddenly contacts appeared under Google account along with everything else.
The second time I just downloaded and installed this version of google contants sync http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-contacts-sync/google-contacts-sync-4-0-4-488656-release/google-contacts-sync-4-0-4-488656-android-apk-download/, and again contacts appeared and synced.
Try and let us know.
