Hi, I've got a problem I cant fix.
I wanted to downgrade Google Search so I uninstalled updates and it went back to stock. I then installed the version I wanted. v3.1
Now, this is my problem. I DONT want it to show in Google Play as an update so I tried to make a updated APK like I have with many other apps where I like older versions.
Now I used Lucky Patcher and that didn't like making the modded APK but it did back a backup. So I clicked RESTORE BACKUP. and guess what? It deleted the app instead of restoring it.
Now when I try to install it from either any APK or even directly from Google Play it keeps saying the device is full and fails to install.
I have over 1GB free. I've deleted about 10 apps and still keeps saying device is full. I've reinstalled those 10 apps and they fit and install without problems and I still have over 1GB free.
HOW do i get Google Search reinstalled? I dont want to reflash it as I will loose ROOT and that was a big enough ***** to install the first time.
I have a stock recovery menu. Rooted Galaxy S4 i9505 4.3 official firmware.
I did delete delvik cache and the cache in recovery menu.
I cant find any other ways to restore it? I tried titanium backup with the backup I have of it but that never ends when I click restore. It doesn't finish, doesn't do anything just sits there saying its restoring but never stops still I kill it even after 30 mins it was still restoring.
Anyone??
I did try Titanium Backup and made a update.zip and that fails both from SDCARD and ADB as its not signed and its stock recovery.
Do I have to install a custom recovery? Can I use the one I used with 4.2.2 or do I have to get a 4.3 version? That was i9505-cwm-recovery-6.0.3.2-4.tar
Anyone?
I'm stumped. I dont have a clue whats going on and why it wont install and why its saying its full when its got 1GB free.

Im be honest with you
Happened to me once and unfortunately solved by flashing stock again

Thanks for the reply.
Was hoping not to do that.
BUT, everything still works without it anyway and as it stole the use of my Bluetooth button it wont be missed but I do like the Google Now alerts.
What happened with me was the latest few versions stole the link to the bluetooth button. Before when you pressed the button you had the option of S-Voice or Google Search and now the newer versions dont have that option and always use Google Search and you have no way to revert back to S-Voice. I had Google Search disabled for a while but I want to use Google Now so I need the app but not the new version so an old version works fine. I think the last is 3.1? I didn't try 3.2 but I know 3.4 has that forced Google Search now.

I got it installed and fixed a few other apps at the same time.
I went to root /data/data and found the google search was a 0kb file so I deleted it and it installed fine after that. I also had a few other apps that were playing up so I deleted those folders and they now install and work fine.
So in the end no need to reflash just remove the corrupt files and its all fixed.
I did find out Google Search 3.3 is the last of the good versions, 3.4 is when it steals your bluetooth's connection and uses it for its own without letting you choose default.
As S-Voice is a Samsung feature those not with a Samsung phone wont care but those like me that use S-Voice will be annoyed that the latest Google Search removes the choice. I recommend to disable so it goes back to default version then get v3.3 and install that and use an app to remove it from updating in Google Play then all will be good.
it's solved right?
but anyway maybe you could try to flash gapps . Don't now if it will works but i good to try anyway ;D

When uninstalling on stock, you only delete apk file. You have also to delete corresponding odex odex file in system/
Then, you have to remove also corresponding folder in system/data/data
Then, you can try to reinstall the app.

I fixed it. There was a corrupt file in /data/data and as soon as I deleted it, it finally installed fine after that.
Now trying to stop Google Play from upgrading and also removing it from the update list is another problem.

I do that and it doesn't work with Titanium Backup.
I want to remove it completely so it doesnt even see it in the Google play store.
In Titanium Backup you can remove it from Google Play but that option doesn't work as I've had it removed twice and its updated both times.
So far its working. I've turned it into a user app and removed it from the store and its not updated yet but I will give it till tomorrow and if it auto updated like the last 2 times I will just uninstall it again and not use it. Its more trouble than its worth anyway.

I want it installed, I want to use Google Now but I don't want to update to the bad version and I don't want Google Play to keep telling me there is an update so I want it removed from Google Play.
As I said Titanium Backup does have a "Detach from Market" option which does remove it but after a few hours it updates anyway so that option doesn't work.
When you make a custom APK it's not seen in the Market so that works but Google Search doesn't work when you customise the APK.

I've unticked that box so Google Search won't auto update but it's still in the update list and it still gives notifications that it needs to be updated.
It needs to be removed from Google Play, that's the only way to stop it from updating or asking to update and it's the only app I can't customise that I've tried. I've modded many apps and they work and they are removed from Google Play but this one I can't.
I also want other apps to auto update so I dont want to turn that option off.

YES YOU CAN.
Just install Market Fixer and that removed it. But it does sometimes show up after a reboot. I rebooted twice and it showed up the first time but not the 2nd time.
So it looks like I've fixed the problem.
Titanium Backup's 'Detach from Market' doesn't work but Market Fixer does the same thing and that does work.
The problem I think is its a system app, its used by my Google account, its used by half the system so its not easy to hide from the App Store. As other apps aren't used the same way they are easily hidden but Google Search isn't.
Hi, i got today my new P9 lite.
I would know if it is possible remove some system apps like google play, google drive etc. and other operator branded apps.
I need root (after unlocked bootloader and twrp) to do this?
Thanks.

Yes you need root for removing system apps. But why would you want to remove play store? You use you're smartphone just for calls and texts?
Also, deleting play store services will cause system instability, inability to receive updates, or to use some other services like cloud backup.....
Yes, is ok to delete apps that are considered bloatware ( like amazon, eBay, or games) but some of these are removable without root.
Best thing for you is to go to settings -> apps and click on apps that bother you. There you will find uninstall button for what you can delete or disable for apps that can be frozen
Thanks for answer.
Anyway i didn't write i want to remove play store or play services! I just says some google apps like play, drive, hangouts etc.

I have removed Hicare, Hivoice, Huawei ID, NFC service, Services Exchange and all the google stock apps (Movies, music, google+ etc) and all is working fine (Google play services is an essential app)
You can also disable these apps on the info page of the apps.
They remain on the phone and take the space but they are not active any more.

To easily delede system apps you can use the app Link2SD if you have root access
Is not recommended to delete the stock apps because can cause malfunction of the system but you can stop the services. There are not many bloatware on Huawei P9 Lite an i think they can be necessary.

It's the app I have use to do the job. Works fine. Root needed.
1st of all you have to root your Android. You can use King Root app to root your device. (But I am not sure KingRoot will root your device or not). After rooting your android install lucky Patcher app. Then select the app you want to remove. But remember some of the apps are important for your device. so be careful about removing stock apps. Good luck!
Hi everyone,
I am running the FunkyHuawei Android 7.0, EMUI 5.0 version on my MHA-AL00. At the moment I am unable to download any Google Play apps (just says downloading without any progress), or get any data from from Google apps downloaded, e.g. Google Drive, Pushbullet, etc.
Everything seems to be working fine on my Android tablet with 5.1.1 and my friend's phone with 6.0. Please let me know if you guys are experiencing this. Thanks!
are you on WiFi? I experienced similar issue when I was on B165 fw I couldn't download anything using WiFi but after updating to B167 fw is working without any issues on both WiFi and mobile networks.
Make sure you have all permissions enable for google services, framework and play store, auto lunch and secondary lunch also enable. I noticed this can be an issue for google apps.
I experienced this behavior on Google play store with Chinese version. What I normally do is re-start the phone and the contents will bedownloaded instantly afterwards..

Could someone kindly remind me how to install a samsung apk from apk mirror after the April Security patch, so as to avoid the existing package error?
If I recall correctly, a member said that you need to toggle a switch in developer options.

So there is no way at all to sideload an apk after the April Security patch to a non-rooted s7 edge ??????
Me, i reverted back to February Sec firmware
I just got a new software update today was around 170mbs

I couldnt install apks because of the package conflict issue. But since i updated today i tried installing and everything installed again just fine.
Good news to me no more updates yet
I have Indian S7 edge with April security patch, unrooted android 7.0. I successfully installed weather apk and weather forecast apk, latest version released on 07 may on APK mirror. but when i checked the weather widget it is showing still old design. I cleared data cash no luck.

I have the DQD7 latest update as well. But I cannot install the weather apps of S8...
Even tried by using apk editor. I changed the package name and re-compiled it. I managed to install it as a separate app, but it was not working...
The April Security update is blocking a lot of the Samsung built-in apps from being updated. It usually errors with "The Package conflicts with an existing package by the same name" Does not make a difference if you rollback the last one that worked it will still cause the same error almost each and every time.
It seems that the only apks you can install after the April's security update are the ones that have their own icon (and not just the android head).
The ones with the android head as an icon are probably considered system apps and you cannot install them (like the s8 samsung weather apks), however the ones with their own icon (like the latest s8 samsung home app), can be installed without any problem.
So I suppose we will have to wait from an updated weather app apk...

When I tried installing any S8 APKs I would get the package with the same name error, so here's what I did to be able to install all the S8 APKs I wanted.
1: I put all the APKs I wanted to install on my SD card
2: I used Samsung Cloud to backup my phone (apps, data etc...) but I backed up my Whatsapp chat using Whatsapp chat backup
3: I turned off my phone and booted into recovery and did a factory reset
4: When phone booted back up, I went through all the prompts without adding any accounts(Google, Samsung, etc), I didn't even connect WiFi
5: I opened My Files and opened the folder on my SD card with the S8 APKs
6: I first installed the S8 Launcher, then went into settings/apps/Touch Wiz Home and cleared data
7: Returned back to my S8 APK folder and installed the rest, then rebooted my phone
8: Added my Google & Samsung account and restored from my Samsung Cloud backup, my phone returned the exactly the way it was before I reset it, all missing apps were reinstalled, homescreen were set back up the way they were and all S8 APKs installed are working fine.

I agree... I don't want to factory reset my phone just to get the weather widgets...
I will wait to see if/when new apks of them will be uploaded on apk mirror or wait until a more experienced member finds a way to do it.
The closest I got was that by altering the package names of the apks using apk editor pro, I managed to install the s8 weather widgets as separate apps. So when I was searching through my widgets I could see both the s7 weather widgets and the s8 weather widgets. But unfortunately, when adding the s8 widgets on my home screen, they just stayed there saying "loading" and never loaded any city or time/date etc...

Hi everyone,

I choose Oreo 8.1, and I want to stay with it because Dolby Atmos app is much better.
I try to install the other updates of 8.1 and the problem is still the same:
Apps for example JetAudio is running very long when I turn on to listen music, sometime frozen.
Play store too, when I use this app It can frozen, app is closed information on not respond.
Sometimes is info ,,Interface has stopped"
I use apk google installer to install google services or I install manual apk from apk mirror, and it still same problem.
I try to turn on permission to storage.
There is a more options for aps about energy or run in the background and I think its not helpful, maybe someone knows some options that I didn't find ?

Hi.
This was my situation on b15-b16 update also.
Try empty cache of the google playstore, services, framework etc.
But my suggestion is that do full reset, and than go to zte market and download google downloader.
Than you will get a much faster (and clean) device.
Btw Where did you get 8.1 ? My knowing was that 8.0 (b19) is still in beta phase. Never heard about 8.1.

No need for phone number. Maybe you should to register (zte account), but without telephone number. I'm from Hungary and it's works. Sorry that I can't recall the process, it was one day painful work that solved
