I updated to the unofficial 4.2 gmail apk, uninstalled and tried restoring original version back via Titanium so I could use market to update today. The phone froze, and Titanium stopped showing my backup. Now I don't have gmail. I tried going to Market and downloading gmail, but it says software cannot install because it is not a compatible update. Ideas? Or should I just side-load it and reattach to market? I'm worried about future OTA updates etc.
Ever since Google got rid of sub-genres and replaced them with play lists, I've kept an older version of GPM to replace the new version. I did this previously by deleting the new version and installing the old, but I was always rooted.
Is there a way too do this without root?
I'm guessing it fails because it tries to install the old version I have as a system app.
Apkmirror
That's a cool place to get older versions of the app, but doesn't solve my problem.
Trying to install the older version fails.
I have unknown sources turned on.
You can't install an older version until you can delete the new one completely which you would need root to do
Thanks. I was hoping there was another way. I guess I'm stuck with "drinking a latte at the gym with my bro" sub-genres.
Hi,
I have Note 3 SM-N9005 International Qualcomm.
Long ago my phone has updated to Android Lolipop 5.0 (from KitKat 4.4) - OTA update with stock
Used my phone for year and a half, and few weeks ago phone gets lag from time to time.
I decide to go to FACTORY RESET (firstly try backup and reset). All go well. Phone goes like new. No lag. Good performance
BUT: one thing, one little error broke my all google apps
When android goes to automatically update google apps like GMAIL, Google Now(google), hangouts, maps and many others, system says that first have to update google play services and then this ERROR :
Google play services isn't compatible with your device
I try to reset phone without backup. Same thing
Then I go very angry and decide to read more about custom ROMS and how they install
I installed TWRP 2.8.4 first. Then I download AryaMod V8.3 TW Lollipop Official BOJ6 and follow all steps to intallation (A) : Coming from any official TW 5.0
All installation goes well and the ROM work perfect.
There is no hangouts app(I know that is old and bla bla), gmail work properly, but google(now) and other software (like STRAVA) wants to update and still wants google play services to update first. AND SAME ERROR :
Google play services isn't compatible with your device
Tried to go application manager> google play store> uninstall updates
application manager>google play services> clear cache
remove google account and re-login
same error !!!
PLEASE HELP
and sorry for my ENGLISH
Download Google play services APK from apkmirror and install through it, same happened to me yesterday and it worked like a charm.

Hi !
I have the same problem as OP. I was on AryMod MM 6.0 v6 but GPS was a little problematic so I decided to go back to a stock rom. After a successful restore I couldn't access my google apps after update. I tried another stock firmware but got the same results. Older apks with .438 install correctly but the problem persists. I tried installing the latest apk from apkmirror but I get an error.
There are 27 variants of app on apkmirror, which one to download for n9005?

Hi guys is there anyway to rollback Oreo as it keeps crashing my gmail and outlook, other than that its seems to run great.
did you try a factory reset first. The only way back is to flash stock software in odin.
Use the desktop client from Samsung to roll back.
Thanks guys, I didn't factory reset but I think I found a way to stop the crashing.
I installed android system webview and that has stopped all the apps that were crashing at launch to start working again.
So just a heads up if you cant launch any apps, try the android webview install.
With smartswitch

Plug in the usb on your smartphone and start smart switch. After the launch of the program it will ask you to update your phone. It will download latest android 7.0 firmware and revert back to stock
A couple days ago i updated smartswith pc , and it says smartswitch will not support "device initialization mode" anymore. When i search from settings and boom no more this mode. It says make it from your phone.
I did it yesterday
1. Install that smart switch app on PC/ MAC.
2. when you hook your cell via usb, it's say software update msg on smart switch(i.e. to stable version 7.0)
3. once rollback is done, you'd need to un-enroll to beta update via samsung + app.. otherwise that oreo beta updated notification will hang there.
If you get an error when trying to install Smart Switch PC about a "side-by-side" error of some sort (forgot exactly what it said), install Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86) first.
How do you un-enroll from the beta update from the samsung + app?
I used Odin to flash a factory image of 7.0 from Updato.
how do i opt out of beta? I used smart switch to roll back, but now it already redownloaded the new firmware.
Android auto didn't work even after usb debugging enabled as some suggested. Anyone have an idea how to unenroll in the beta? I checked samsung + but cant find as solution.
I used odin to reflash but update keeps trying to install. No option to withdraw from beta in the samsung+ app...
on your phone, open Samsung Members app - go to settings and then at the bottom click on Galaxy Beta Programme...at the bottom of the following screen click DEREGISTER at the bottom.

Did it come disabled when u got it ? cause it was for mine
I did the oreo install with Telus and everything was buttery smooth. There was second update about a week later and it's not buttery smooth and cords and it's taken longer to charge. Not functioning like it should be. How do I roll back this install?
I have attempted numerous time to side-load a Samsung apps like "Always On Display" only to get the "App not installed" error message. What am i doing wrong??
You cannot sideload system apps on s10plus.
You might also find the version you are on is the latest version for the S10 plus . The version you are trying to side load might be a newer version but to fix a bug on other model phones.
I have already had a discussion with Samsung about this about a month ago.
Why are you even trying to sideload Samsung system apps? Are the originals disabled, uninstalled or not working properly or are you trying to add features not available in your firmware version?
