I'm not sure what the right terminology is here, but each time after I install a new rom and log into the play store, it starts to download my previously installed apps. The problem is, it's like a month behind. I'm not sure how to force the android store to stay in sync with what's actually installed on my phone. (I'd like to avoid having to go find all of my apps each time I flash a new rom).

So the new market does not play well with market access or market enabler.
And you can't live without the new market.
I found a trick for this maybe it's too much of a headache but if you want to use new market then what you have to do is
1. Install market access.
2. Go emulate say for example t mobile.
3. Go to settings/applications/manage/ and then uninstall the updates for market if any. .
4. So now you have the old market. Now open the market.
5. Then wait for some time. Since it is connected to t-mobile it will update to new market.
6. Now you can download all the apps you want with market.
The thing is it only works till restart. Then you have to repeat all the steps again.
Big hassle I know but if you absolutely have to use the new market then this is one way. Cheers.
Tried and tested on stock roms.
P. S. Simply use old market with market access and freeze market updater using titanium backup to avoid all the hassle and use US APPS.
I've been using market access and I have not had any issues whatsoever, even when I was updated to 3.1.5
Don't know about others but i have this issue, when i use market access it shows the currency sign in dollars but the applications do not show. For example if I search for vopium after a restart then it does not show in the new market unless i do the above procedure again.
Already installed apps show up just fine. Its the apps that are not installed that don't show up.
Please try for pandora or netflix.
I have heard some other people complaining about this so i put it up.
Edit: Also if you do the above procedure then it goes to US market page with movies, apps, games and books etc, after restart it goes off to Apps directly.
So any ROM I choose whether custom or stock, I hate using the market with it. For one I'll sign in and install apps.
Go to the Android Market website and sign in and none of them show under "My library" but any apps I install via the web interface show up there. But now any apps I did that for show up as "INSTALLED". I factory reset my phone so now I have 4 pages of apps saying "INSTALLED" when they are not installed what so ever.
So even if I did uninstall them they still show, plus when I reset. None of my applications re-download. I thought it was supposed to on Android...This is making me question getting another android device.
None of my apps re download and I'm glad because i have seen the garbage I've download in the past in my android market library. Also the android market library doesn't display all the apps i have installed in the past which again isn't a problem because i know which apps i need and no longer download useless garbage. I don't the the 'installed apps' bug though.
I've just set up a fresh phone, downloaded all my apps to it and set up my G Watch R and some apps are missing from the watch. Facer, Pujie Black, Talon and a few others. When I go into Wear App Manager it says they're just not installed on my watch and resyncing apps through the Wear phone app doesn't seem to be doing anything.
I had this issue on my previous phone too, most apps would install fine but a few would just not make it to the watch. Is this a common issue? Anything I can do to fix it?
(I should add I've trued uninstalling the apps from my phone and redownloading them from Google Play but it hasn't made a difference)
I think that the app just haven't been transferred to the watch yet. Just give it more time, Bluetooth LE can be really slow
Try to restart your watch after you sync it.
It's definitely not just me being impatient, it's been 5-6 hours since I set the watch up and these few apps still aren't syncing. I used my phone on my previous rom for a couple of weeks and still had a couple of apps that hadn't synced up. I feel like there must be something stopping them because just waiting isn't helping. I've tried resyncing and restarting with no luck.
if you have change your ROM do you have google API on it?
Do you know what versions of Google Play Services you use in watch and in phone?
I've had the issue in the past with a OnePlus One on stock ROM, OPO on an unofficial CM12 build, my current Galaxy Note 4 on an unofficial CM12 build and also my Note 4 which is currently having this issue on the stock ROM. Phone has Google Play Services 6.5.99 which is presumably the most up to date and my phone is on AW 5.0.1.
If you have adb, can you check log messages (from WearablePkgInstaller) when synchronizing apps?
command is:
adb logcat WearablePkgInstaller:I *:S
at sync, You should see all the package install intents.
Hello,
I'm looking for info if is possible to successfully install and run google play and non android tv apps on oculus go.
Thanks in advance.
What has worked for me is Yalp Store.
https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.github.yeriomin.yalpstore/
Yalp Store let's you download free apps from the Play Store. I've tried downloading the Play Store, Play Services, Services Framework and Login Service from Google and seeing if that works, but Framework keeps crash looping and needs to be removed via ADB, might be a login weirdness though. Go is running Android SDK 25/Android 7.1, so keep that in mind when downloading apks.
The problem with system apps and services is that we should only mess with them if we have a way to flash a firmware back on.
I would not risk a brick or mess around for hours through ADB.
The reason is quite simple:
1. The GO is not a licensed Google device, so we would need to use a hacked playstore setup to overcome the nagging unauthorised device crap.
2. The system is based more on the Amazon TV stick, which makes things a bit complicated.
3. The play services and framework need to be modified to work with a VR setup.
A simple TV version will fail as we can't really match the required specifications.
At least not without rsking access to Oculus stuff.
4. The interest for developers or rom cooks is quite limited.
Aurora app store works great on the GO (https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/galaxy-playstore-alternative-t3739733) I'd also recommend installing appstarter (https://github.com/sphinx02/AppStarter/releases) and then Oculus TV appstarter launcher (https://github.com/GyroJoe/OculusTVLauncher/releases). Then you can just go to unknown apps in your main app library to launch appstarter in oculus TV (much faster than opening OTV, scrolling down, etc). All your sideloaded app will show here (all apps do, but you can hide non-VR apps to make it less cluttered). Works GREAT!
Hi AspenMan. Thanks for pointing out Aurora app Store and the appstarter.
I am trying to install the FuboTv package and cannot get through without Google Play Services if I install the apk from apkmirror. Trying to get this in Aurora App Store - but I do see FuboTV but there is no way install it. May be its a quick help will point me in right direction. I want to watch my FuboTV on Oculus Go
Hello Community,
I have a weird one here - hoping someone can help -
Couple months back I bought myself an OnePlus6T phone and came here for help to successfully install LineageOS onto it. I would say it was the most fun but challenging install that I have performed but with your help, I was able to do so - Thanks.
Phone has been running great under LineageOS with excellent battery life. Been using F-Droid / Aurora Store when needed (mostly for work related Apps). Lately I got into a game that is similar to Pokemon GO and ran into an issue. The game was installed from apkpure since it was not found with Aurora Store.
The game works just fine. Boots up and able to play the game, walking around interacting with the environment. Except for some of the items in game are not clickable. Reached out to their support and with some troubleshooting, couldnt figure out the issue. Nobody has claimed this same issue. Same version that is the most recent. Since I still had my old phone, I installed the game on there (via Google Play Store) and it worked 100%. This phone is officially on Tmobile OS, believe Android 10.
So it had me thinking of what was different between the two devices. Obs the OS's are different, but the main factor that I couold think of was that when I installed LIneageOS on the OnePlus6t, i didnt install Google Play Services along with. Grabbed an apk of it, updated it and the game is still acting the same - cant interact with some of the objects in game. Through phone activity, I do get the notification pop stating "Google Play Services has crash" with two options, close app and app info.
Overview :
Objective / Issue - Geolocation game works but not 100% since some of the objects in game are not working, most are
Tmobile Phone - Running Official Android 10 - game installed from Play Store - works 100%
OnePlus6T Phone - Running LineageOS 18.1 - game installed manually, boot and runs but not all objects are intractable
Questions - Can i install Google Play Services separately through TWRP?
Which version would I install? Is there a slim down version of Google Play Services to only install the service and nothing else?
Is there a way to fully, and I mean Fully backup my data for a factory reset so i can install Google Play Services?
Would installing Lineage MircoG be a possible solution?
I know its a strange issue / request but hopefully a simple solution. Not sure if I can just install Google Play Services through TWRP and that would work but that would be the simplest and I wouldnt lose any data
Any help would be greatly appreciation,
Thanks,
