I got this iron man of a phone yesterday and rooted yesterday. I noticed a lot of bloat so I uninstalled a bunch of it. Now my s voice doesn't work(it forced closed when I asked a question) so what apps affect it. What should I not have deleted? And where can I get it back?
I don't know what I deleted that did it because I deleted a bunch of stuff that looked useless.
Thanks
Joe
Might be the ChatOn.
To get it back, restore to factory via Kies or ODIN.
I removed chat on but s voice still works. Did you remove Samsung apps?
Yeah I think I took some out... gonna just factory reset -.-
S Voice doesn't work at all, even after a reset.
I didn't uninstall anything, but after I rooted, S-Voice quit working. It just crashes every time I try to use it.
I tried factory reset twice, and hard reset twice (vol-up + home + pwr), with the exact same result.
It is so bad, that after the reset, when the software asks what language do you want to setup the phone, text-to-speech quits before you can even hit next.
I tried changing the default tts from Samsung to Google, but I got the same result.
Anybody with any ideas???

Yes, sorry, but you should restore back to Factory using Odin. But just in case you don't know, doing this won't reset your settings and apps, so feel free to restore back as soon as you have weird issues or errors.

**** if you didn't uninstall anything, it might be the root that caused stuff to not work then. That is the same problem that I had, except I did uninstall a bunch of stuff.
*EDIT* I have confirmed that it is in fact the root that makes S voice not work. I restored to factory using my firmware from this site

And now it works fine that I do not have root.

Works perfectly, was having the same problem after recent root.
You can set them back to system apps after you have reset.
Now I just need to get my default home launcher to actually launch when I reset the phone.
"You can set them back to system apps after you have reset."
I noticed on my phone, if S VOICE is a user app, Double Clicking Home key works once to start S Voice but if I go to messaging or maps or any other application, double click does not bring me back to S VOICE.
I reverted S VOICE back to system app and double click works as advertised again
My Nexus 7 just started having some weird behaviour, so I decided it was time to reset it.
After resetting it, I started to install all my apps, but there are 2 were the tablet always gets stuck. They show as "Installing" forever and never finish, no matter what I do. They are X-Plore and Hacker's keyboard.
I tried to force stop the play store, and as soon as I do it, the message "X-Plore has been installed" appears, but there's no icon on the app launcher. I open the play store again, and it shows as installed. If I click "open", the app opens, but still no icon in the launcher...
If I uninstall and try to reinstall again, the same process repeats... can someone help me?
Thanks!

Are you using stock launcher?
Have you tried rebooting after they are installed and see if they appear in the app drawer afterwards?
You may try deleting the data files for the problem apps after uninstalling.
Hey
I can't uninstall greenify from my phone. I unticked accessibility right but when I try to untick administrator right, the settings always stoppes. Can anyone help get rid of this app?

no, it's the app to hibernate apps not in use. I downloaded it from the google store, and wanted to try the phone performance without it, but I just can get rid of it...
Can you try "stopping" the app from Settings > Apps, then try removing administrator?
I can't. Even package disabler can't do anything to the app
Try clearing data/cache of the app?
Just tried that. No help. Settings still gets stopped
So what do you mean exactly "but when I try to untick administrator right, the settings always stoppes".
What exactly happens when you try to untick administrator?
When i I click to untick the rights the screen freezes and after a while i get message that seetings has stopped and im moved backward to security settings
Are you using xposed module for it?
I've encountered this error. I just reboot my phone and uninstall it.

That's strange. As the poster above asked, do you have exposed or any mods installed?
The Settings app is crashing for some reason.
Nope, stock rom, unrooted. Im starting to loose trust in greenify

Did U ever Solve the problem? im having the same issue and can't find a solution
There is an option in Greenify that you can uninstall it.
Anyone ever find a solution to this?
I've encountered a similar issue with MyKnox. MyKnox is an optional App you can install through the Play Store. The option to disable it from the device administrator list was greyed out and there was no option within the app to uninstall/disable the app even though Samsung's official instructions said so. Ended up having to clean flash via Odin.
Turn on safe mode!

1. Turn the device off.
2. Press and hold the Power key past the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge screen.
3. When "SAMSUNG" appears on the screen, release the Power key.
4. Immediately after releasing the Power key, press and hold the Volume down key.
5. Continue to hold the Volume down key until the device finishes restarting.
6. Safe mode will display in the bottom left corner of the screen.
7. Release the Volume down key when you see Safe Mode.
8. Uninstall apps that are causing a problem.
Greenify isn't listed in safe mode.
Edit: Found a solution
Greenify - Menu - Troubleshooting - Uninstall
i went onto greenify app..went to troble shoot and uninstalled from there
If you have given draw over other apps permission, check it first and try removing device administrator permission and then uninstall. Worked for me

thanks. its worked.
I'm not sure what happened, but my Google Keyboard seems to have disappeared. Google Keyboard is not showing as an option under "Keyboard & input methods". I have Flesky and Swiftkey, so I'm getting by, but I don't know how to get it working. Gboard shows under Apps, and I've tried clearing cache, clearing data, force stop, and uninstall/reinstall, but it still doesn't appear as an option to use as a keyboard. How can I rectify this? Thanks in advance to anyone who has a solution.

Google keyboard is replaced by Gboard but I think you already knew that. Also if you are on a custom ROM flash Gapps again. Gboard will appear on input options. If not maybe you have factory reset or wait for the app to be updated again .
PS did you reboot after clearing cache?

Thanks for the reply. I'm not rooted and therefore don't have a custom ROM, just the one that came with the device, so therefore I can't really flash anything. I went into recovery mode and did a cache wipe there, which, of course, requires reboot, to no avail. I'll wait to see if an update comes out soon and will live with 3rd party keyboards in the meantime. For what it's worth, I've included screen shots showing that Gboard is showing as an app but is not showing as an available keyboard. When I click "Current Keyboard", my only options are Flesky and Swiftkey.
The reply is appreciated.

Sorry to hear. If you do manage to get it fixed please reply to this thread. Thanks. I am on 7.0 and Gboard is running fine.

Update: I finally got Gboard back. I tried a number of things, including a manual download and install of the apk. I decided to try Slash keyboard, and, when I installed it, I was taken to the screen to enable it, and, voila', Gboard shows up with an enable option. I don't know what happened, but it's working now.

Actually, in your second screenshot, if you tap on "Current Keyboard" there will be a button to choose keyboard. If you press that, it will bring you to the screen where you can enable/disable keyboards. That's probably why Gboard was hidden.

Yep. Not intuitive to me, but you're correct. I thought "Current Keyboard" was just a prompt to select one from the pop-up window. Often the answers are simple if you know where to look. Thanks! :good:

No worries! They changed the menu structure in Nougat so it's more intuitive now.
Probably off topic but does anyone else not like the update they did to the keyboard? No way to remove that search menu row? I have never used the suggestions and wished I could remove it.

It removes the search G but still keeps the row there. See attachment.

Hey everyone.
Lastnight I installed, an android 7.0 custom rom to my tab pro 10.1. I used TWRP to flash install the ROM when it installed it automatically rebooted my device before I could go on to Gapps and install them with the the ROM. So when the ROM loaded up I connected to my hub (using the keyboards) then had a look at the new OS and the wife had a look out of interest with me and everything was working well in fact it was quicker than it was when we got it brand new.
Then playtime over rebooted back into TWRP and flashed Gapps. Then it rebooted again. When it finally loaded back in I was met with a loading screen saying Android is Starting which wouldn't go away but it asked me to sign back on to the Hub so went to do this on problem was.....no Keyboard.....so I managed to get into my setting through quick menu settings and find input settings and there is no keyboard installed to the device...it asked me to add one but I can't because I can't type and even if I could the android is starting message is still going.
Please help I am new to this and I want to learn all this type of thing but I am completely puzzled on what to do. I tried clear chase and data and even tried factory reset.....tried installing gapps on twice (before the factory reset) and nothing was working.
I am tough to use odin to flash it back to standard rom and start again but I could do with some pointers with what i have done wrong.
Thanks people

You may wish to ask over in the Galaxy Tab Pro forums at https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-pro-12-10-8 - you've somehow wandered into the Moto G4 forums
But as a very general suggestion - sounds like your GApps isn't happy with your custom ROM. You may have to clean flash your custom ROM again and verify that the GApps you're flashing is suitable for your device/custom ROM.
I agree with you I have just download the same rom and a stock gapps and I had the same message and again with no keyboard.....agian. Difference this time I haven't rushed to do a factory reset and gone back and reflashed the android 7.0 rom and I am back working again with keyboard but no google apps.
Is there a way of installing them a different way, only 2 google apps I use is play store and gmail. I have tried installing a google play store and play services apk but doesn't work. It goes to load and then just stops.....feels like I need a list of apps to get them going.
Hope someone can help
I worked out my problem with Gapps, "android is starting messages" and no keyboard.
1. I needed to wipe my cache, data and davarlik (whatever it says....looks like darlik to me...lol) before and after.
2. Like fella before said my ROM didn't like the Gapps package I had downloaded, so everytime I had the android message I went back on to TWRP and restored back to the orginal point where the lineage ROM worked, then went back on to the net and installed the next Gapps package and repeated till I found a package that worked......that package was the "Micro" package.
Any google apps I was missing I simply just downloaded them via the playstore after.
I realise this is a moto G forum but I find that sometimes you need to go other places to find answers and I had originally looked in the samsung Tab Pro 10.1 forum section and couldn't find anything similar to my problem this fella at the beginning of the thread was the closest to my problem I could fine.
Hope this helps
So my father decided to update with substratum enabled and now we get SystemUI FC every time and can't use the phone.
No rooted, no custom recovery, no nothing. Is there any way of removing the overlays without wiping data?
Thanks.

You can try going to Safe Mode:
1. Reboot your device
2. Hold down the Volume Down key while booting up
3. You are now in Safe Mode
4. Go into Settings -> Apps, then find the overlay you think is messing up and uninstall
I'm afraid it makes no difference

OK, I read this 'tutorial' here on XDA. Have not tried myself but see if it helps. If it works please report back. It would be nice to known for future reference:
How to recover if the above doesn't work? (Credits to Evozi)
You will have to boot up in Safe Mode (comes default on every device)
1. Turn on screen and press power button. It will show "Shutdown", "Restart", "Emergency Mode"
2. Turn on "Emergency Mode", keep spam the checkbox so you can tick the checkbox to proceed the agreement. (phone is super lagging)
3. While you are in emergency mode, you have very limited access. Open any system app and go to recent task list.
4. Long press the app task, press the info icon and app detail page will appear.
5. Hit the back button and it will show your whole app list.
6. Find your overlay and remove all its storage and phone permissions.
7. Deactivate Emergency Mode and now you are back to TouchWiz.
8. Uninstall the overlay app.
Can't check the agreement with th fc window all the time, any trick for that?
