Last week I got a push update for game tools to 1.0.57-0. After updating, I found that the "Minimize game" feature is now terraced with "In-game lock screen" which doesn't keep the game in memory anymore. Does anyone got this too? Is there an apk for an older version of game tools so I can get the feature back?
Thanks!
most of old apk i download at apkmirror
Anyone managed to get the minimize back? I cant delete it or do anything without root ?

I found out that if you're still on Marshmallow, you can uninstall Game Tools update to get the stock version back. That version still supports minimizing games. On Nougat, I still haven't figured out a workaround...
Any ideas about Android 7?
Did anyone manage to get it working in Android 7?

Hi All,
The 1.13.604 update is failing for me and I will be the first to say its no ones fault but my own. After rooting my phone I used Titanium Backup to backup all programs and program data. Titanium made it look like everything went ok.
Then I used Titanium's uninstall feature to remove the following "bloatware":
Amazon MP3 1.7.22
City ID
Voice Search 1.4.0
NFS Shift 1.0
3G Mobile Hotspot 2.1-update1
Voicemail 1.0
Voice Commands
Skype Mobile 1.0.0.9
My Verizon 4.0
This morning I read that the 1.13.604 update can still be rooted so I tired to install it and it failed on me. Then I went back to titanium and attempted to restore the apps I removed and they all fail for some reason(I dont think it backed them up correctly). I have checked off "unknown sources" under applications. If someone could please post the APK files associated with these apps and list their respective install locations they would be my personal hero
Thanks in advance,
jvward
Update:
I have managed to get the following APKs:
Amazon MP3 1.7.22
Voice Search 1.4.0
Voicemail 1.0 - (this one is a maybe)
Voice Commands
My Verizon 4.0
I am using a Droid x dump to get them but if anyone knows the name of the 3G Mobile Hotspot 2.1-update1 apk or has a copy of it my spider sense tells me this is most likely the issue.
Thanks!

Quick Question
Is there anyway to run logging while the update applies so I can see exactly what is failing. As of this point I have everything put back in its original location accept for the NFS shift Apk since I cant find it online. I am not sure if this is causing the error or something else. Is there a way through ADB I can see the progress of the update and what is not working
Try un-rooting then apply the update. Then re-root. Root does work with the 604 update (as I updated then rooted).

I believe 3G Mobile Hotspot 2.1-update1 is Mynet.apk. Please keep us posted on your results. I've rooted and I'm already at .604, but it's nice to hear that updates succeed.
May I ask which tool you are using to root? Also, do you unroot using that same tool?
Well I guess this is what I get for trying to force a Xperia Play Launcher update?
I unlocked and rooted my AT&T xperia play phone and fell into a ditch on this error that I can't overcome.
I've been trying to update my xperia play launcher app however whenever I try to update it, I would get a signing error. After reading threads about signing errors the only way I found that a way others resolving this issue would be to delete the app and reinstall it.
I couldn't find the application in the application settings and only found it in the system area under root explorer. I deleted it using system uninstaller app but I think the program left some bits of it out somewhere because now when I try to install the app, the program will still result in a error and Android Market will give me a -8 unknown error window.
Right now my XPeria play still works normal I guess...but now when I flip the gamepad out, it won't bring up the launcher anymore. At first I found it annoying anyways when I play mostly emu games...but for some odd reason I actually want this feature back.
Any help on this would be appreciated. I tried a system reset and repair but the funny thing is that it won't work because I believe Sony is detecting this is a test unit or because I'm rooted as phone only updates etc. fail through the PC companion.

NO NO NO NO NO Never delete manufacturer apps from /system/app/ you cannot install them as normal apps, and even if you could, sony has designed there framework to only read the main app from /system/ to stop people porting elemnts of there UI to other devices, your best bet is to find someone with the same firmware as you, ask them for a copy of the .apk from /system/app/ and use adb to push it back
Use root uninstaller from market, if you're rooted.

Anyone know the exact name of the apk file? The uninstaller I used I just went by the icon itself and hit uninstall.
Before I was even rooted, I couldn't apply system updates through the PC Companion App anyways. The only programs that could be updated or installed were programs that install onto windows. I think Sony is blocking me from installing updates regardless I dunno... it's weird. It is a buggy test unit anyways... lots of the AT&T apps crash with the sony home launcher.

Sorry I should've been more clear, however originally this was the reason why I tried to delete the app in the first place because of the error that came up while trying to update.
When I try to update the app from the launcher and or from the market place I would get that signing error. I can't even update my phone through the PC Companion as well. I appreciate the apk and i'm I'm going to try it to give you an update. I thought I got got the wrong apk file from the R800i version dump from this site but I already came up with this error in ADB.
"Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_SHARED_USER_INCOMPATIBLE"
Going to download and test ur version in a sec. THANKS!
Well no luck. I think the only way for me to fix this is to find out whats still leftover from the program and then do a fresh install. I came up with the same error using ADB. PC Companion update/repair still doesn't work for whatever odd reason

i fixed the problem by simply pressing the app and holding it for 5 seconds then i get an install option. thanks for the help though.
last night i was using my nexus player and out of nowhere it just randomly decided to shut down. next thing i know upon reboot it tried to update but since im rooted and such it failed. the problem here was that it screwed up boot and i had to wipe the cache which erased most settings.
Is there a way to make the nexus player not try to automatically update? disable update in settings for that matter (in case someone tried to get cute and do it while im not around)?

LOL!!!! I'm going through this frustration right now. Couple things I've done first install a custom recovery it won't let you update. if you do get the endless bootloop clear cache and it will stop (the update is downloaded to the cache). It might do that twice then will pass. This worked for me until factory restored my device. I ended up forgetting and now I'm marshmallow.
Next thing I'm gonna try is pushing a build.prop from the next update to /system. It hasn't been pushed yet but they usually release it on the site with the factory images. If I don't flash aosp first.
Yes but i wonder if theres a way to disable it. it sucks that i have to clear cache every time it attempts to update. its happened 3 times on me now. i will try to install my own custom recovery so hopefully thats all thats needed but i noticed android also downloads the update in the background, which probably wastes more space if your not planning on upgrading.
Once you clear the cache it deletes the update. Almost forgot I read some where here on xda that deleting otacerts.zip will stop it from downloading entirely. Not suggesting you try it but next update I'm gonna
You might want to try the method I suggested at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62865084&postcount=6 and see if that works or not.
Thanks for your solution but unfortunately, at least for me, i cant seem to get it to work. i can sideload and launch the disable service app, but when i try going to ANY actual apps or system services, it just crashes. Not sure why. :/

Tried this, and while it did stop the download from verifying, it just caused the nexus player to loop over and over by constantly downloading the update again, only to fail and repeat the process. This worked for a couple of days while i found the proper workaround, so thanks. keep in mind though that because it just caused the device to keep redownloading, this method could cause those on limited data plans to quickly go over.

for whatever reason service disabler did not want to work for me. it caused a constant crash every time i tried clicking on any service within the app. I did however, eventually come across "My Android Tools" by the same developer as service disabler. Using this app i was able to disable the systemupdateservice within both google framework and google play services. I had to use a bluetooth mouse to navigate though, as the remote didnt want to work on its own. Once i used this app and followed your directions, now when i attempt to do a manual system update in settings, it just acts like im on the current version, which i assume means it fails instantly. Thanks so much man! so far so good!
For anyone curious, the app is:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.wq.myandroidtools&hl=en
keep in mind you may need to connect a mouse somehow to the nexus player to navigate and disable the services.
Thanks I'm gonna downgrade today and find out

I'm glad to hear that things worked out for you with this method and the alternate app by the same developer. I've been running Android 6.0 Marshmallow after flashing its factory image but once the monthly security updates and unwanted reboots in to TWRP start happening, I may disable the updates using this method.
How do you sideload either service disabler app? Neither are listed on apkmirror and searching the play store in browser doesn't give an option to install for nexus player.

Copy and paste the Google Play URL for the app (which was posted earlier in this thread) in to box at the top of https://apkpure.com/region-free-apk-download and press the green download button. Then upload the APK to your Google Drive account and install it through ES File Explorer on your Nexus Player.
please correct me if I'm wrong
As the title said, please correct me if I'm wrong but this method isn't working in the nexus player MRA58K since the apk used to disable the updated only supports Lolipop, I tried in my nexus 7 running 5.0 and it's working flawless but the apk crash on Android 6.0, thanks in advance for your help.

Not for me. After granting "my android tools" access, I go to disable systemupdateservice, and popup says it can't access root privelages ( Supersu is up to date. I'm not really sure why I even rooted and installed twrp recovery on this device, but I wish I had stock recovery back so I wouldn't be in this mess.
@pokes135, make sure you have the latest version of My Android Tools installed. You can flash a stock system or recovery image using Nexus Root Toolkit if necessary.

You can install a firefox browser addon called apk downloader which will inject a button when you view the app in google play website to download the apk.
Use any root explorer or es file explore
make/mount system as rw
navigate to /system/etc/security
rename otacerts.zip into otacerts.zip.bak or whatever you want.
It will stiop the automatic update completely.
If you need ota update you need to rename th otacerts.zip back

Thanks for the info. Much more straight forward to do then sideloading app while hoping the app won't force close.
adb connect 192.168.xxx.xxx:5555
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
mv /system/etc/security/otacerts.zip /system/etc/security/otacerts-disabled.zip
mount -o remount,ro /system
Pr-requisite: must be rooted and ADB Wireless already installed.
Don't use this method (renaming ota_certs)! It will just cause the updates to continuously download and fail, then start downloading again. You'll use a lot of bandwidth this way, and if you have a data cap, this is a sure fire way to bust through it.
Hi everyone,
After 2 years of using my Axon 7 (China) I decided to update.
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 ?
Please help..

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.

Ups, I made mistake. It's 8.0.0 Oreo, I get it from forum and flash with EDL mode.
Clear cache no results..
But how I go to ZTE Market ? I need to create account ? If yes, it's immposible because they ask for phone number and number from Poland didn't work.
Is there some other option to go to ZTE Market ?
