Some days ago the meizu m2 of my brother started having problems with the google apps not working any more (completely white screen in Play store and nothing working well). For this reason I decided to unlock its bootloader and install Lineage OS but after flashing Open Gapps I noticed that the google apps keep crashing all the time.
Looking around these forums I noticed that there are a lot of people with the same problem and for this reason I wanted to open this thread to collect all the discussions on the problem and to track any possible news about the problem itself and possible solutions if found.
I think that the cause of the problem may be Google discontinuing support to Gapps on phones not certified (I read some news on this topic some months ago).
I would like to know if someone has already found a solution for the problem to make the Phone usable again with the original Flyme OS or also a custom rom.
Thanks in advance.
[UPDATE] As a first solution for now I installed an old version of the gapps (You can find all the open gapps by date on the tags of the open gapps repository on github i.e: https://github.com/opengapps/arm64/tags?after=20180622) like suggested by someone on other threads. It seems to work for now because just after installation I deactivated the play store from the system settings so that google play services cannot be updated. I use yalp store (available on f-droid) to install apps from the play store
hello , i have a same problem,
this problem is with OpenGAPPS and MindTheGapps with 4 testing roms (Lineage, Viper, CrDroidAndroid, Resurrection_Remix),
in original Flyme OS is same problem.
I've tried Lineage 14, Resurrection Remix, Viper OS, Lineage 12, MIUI and everywhere Google Play Services crashes. As "whole m2 development is dead now" there is no hope that this will be solved.
At the end I installed AOSP 8.1 and it all working fine.:fingers-crossed:
Let me check it and find a solution for this. I will remind you guys what we can do to use it without issues if i found some. M2 is a secondary phone for me now. So let me try.
Updated first post with a possible solution
Uninstall the update (google & google play services), and turn off "auto update" on play store. Hopefully it can help.

Could you specify exactly which open gapps version you used (5.0-9.0?, nano/pico?)
And did you install open gapps on the Lineage OS you already had flashed on or onto stock ROM?

I installed OpenGapps Micro (of the 1st of August 2018) on Lineage OS
Solution:
1. Install 4.5.4I firmware
2. Root your device
3. Unlock bootloader
4. Install twrp 3.2.1
5. Flash AOSP 8.1 Rom
6. Flash arm64 8.1 micro gapps
Working all fine. Good luck.

Hey, I have a few questions regarding this.
Does FlymeOS 6.2.0.0G (or 6.3.0.0A for that matter) not work at all with open gapps?
Is there a point to install that instead of AOSP 8.1?
I still use FlymeOS stock 4.5.4l and I don't know why it would be more beneficial to use AOSP instead of a recent version of stock FlymeOS.
Does AOSP 8.1 have a lot of bugs?
I checked its forum page, it seems quite a lot of things are broken.
The ones that mostly concern me are the battery problems (though I have battery issues with the stock 4.5.4l FW currently as well), bad headphone sound quality, no navbar and sensor issues. Can you confirm that those are still present or has been fixed since?
hi
any solution yet i try to install google play service .apk and i get message tha telling me that i need to update it pls help me how to resolve google problem

An update to the H2OS out after a long time. The alternative ROM for the OnePlus devices is now updated to the version 3.0. The Hydrogen OS is mostly designed for the Chinese variants of the Oneplus devices. However, the H2OS 3.0 can also be installed on a regular or international variant of the OnePlus 3 and the OnePlus 3T. The ROM brings many new features.
As the Hydrogen OS is a firmware for the Chinese variant, it doesn’t come with the Google Apps pre-installed. You will need to install it separately. Fortunately, we already have a Google play store installed APK which can easily install the Google Play Services onto your Android device.

Will all the US bands be enabled with Hydrogen OS?
Hi, can anyone using a US OnePlus 3T confirm whether the US version of OnePlus 3T with Hydrogen OS will have the exact same bands enabled as the US version using Oxygen OS? I want to be as Google-free as possible and starting with a manufacturer-supported Google-free ROM like H2OS sounds like a good way to go.
I'm open to other ways to accomplish this but simpler is better for me. Finally moving away from Windows Phone, and yes I know, why would you want Android if you don't want Google? Answer, pathetically trying to cling to ownership of my personal data and can't afford the next best OEM privacy option, the iPhone (which isn't a great privacy option either). Thx!

I've been down this path too many times. It's doable but not easy. First, scrap H2OS since Playstore is preinstalled. I'd go with either a lineage based Rom or Freedom OS (OOS with the option to leave all google and OP Apps out on Installation). Just don't flash Gapps after the Rom.
But thats really the easy part. The hard part is the setup. First, you'd need to sideload at least a browser. Get the browser apk of your choice from a reputable source (xda labs is great. It even manages Updates for you). Depending on the apps you need, you'll need some playstore alternative. Some things can be had through xda-labs. If Open Source is your thing, f-droid is great too. Just don't download apk's from somewhere on the web. Your privacy might be more at risk than with google on it.
Also, get a vcard backup of your contacts (or run your own carddav server). Finally, some apps simply won't run without google framework (that's why it's back on my phone). For example "Bring", a shopping list, won't run without google framework. Don't ask me why. But i need that app. Just be prepared for some major inconveniences, and having to find workarounds... :good:
Thanks for the great input domsch1988. You've given me exactly the tips I need to get started. One question though. You mentioned Playstore is preinstalled on H2OS. I was under the impression the main difference between H2OS and OOS was H2OS's removal of all Google specific stuff to meet China's Google restrictions. I assumed that included Playstore. Are you sure it's in there? I only ask because I'd rather start with a OnePlus supported ROM if I can but if that's not the case I'll take the leap and go with one of the ROMs you suggest. Can you recommend a lineage-based ROM I can start with? And, do you have an opinion on microG as a Play framework replacement? It seems like a good idea in theory but the way it's implemented gives me some security concerns.

OP stated that PlayStore APK is preinstalled. I have not tried h2os, so can't say for sure. You could give it a try. And with root you can always uninstall system apps.
I never tried microg myself. For me it was always no g at all or the pico Gapps package.
As a lineage based ROM, on my note 4 resurrection remix was great. On the 3t I'm on stock oos, so not sure.
Play store or anything Google is not installed on H2OS
i am using it currently tried to go without play store and other apps for one day but couldn't deal with all the Chinese apps so, installed OOS although everything could have been installed on H2OS also.
Ok

Hi guys.
I'm using LineageOS' latest build as of today 06/05/17 with Open Gapps.
I'm trying to find a configuration of installed apps that matches as best as possible that of the stock G4 (Nougat). I've no idea about the background services or which stock apps to remove (I'm using the aroma installer version of Gapps as none of the others fit what I want closely enough). Does anybody have any app choice recommendations for me?
Thanks.

I tried now lineage, xenon hd and resurrection. In every 7.1.2 ROM I am unable to get the network based location.
Unfortunately the only way I I know to read this battery saving location is by using tasker(which need to work for me)
Google maps is working without GPS. But I think just because near WiFi.
Can anyone check to read the network based location with tasker in a 7.1.2. ROM?
I already checked my APN settings,my sim card and the android right policies for tasker.... No luck at all
It seems that you have similar problem like me and others:
"Network Location Provider" doesn't work with up-to-date Google Play Services
Location not correct when indoors
Thanks for the links. And indeed, it seems like the same problem.
What surprises me is that this bug dont appeal to this community here. For me it is an important feature of google service which we cant use with our OP2.
Furthermore i dont understand why this bug seems to be a bug according to our device.
For me it is ja software bug with no relation to our hardware?
I hope this error gets more pushed soon

For me, this is also a big problem, because I often need to see geotags in my picture where I made this or that photo. But geotags are not recorded in photos, but if they are recorded, then only one place even if I have already passed 2 kilometers.
There are two solutions - to put Google-camera, but there is very dark video in case of insufficient illumination, the second - to put another ROM. I tried almost all the firmware and only two did not have problems:
Resurrection Remix M [5.7.4]
LineageOS 13.0
But one more problem because of which I will soon change my OP2 is a poor autonomy.

Thanks. As far as i know the 3.6.0 updates is based on Android 6.0.1. and therefore no android 7.1.x
However you are right, it seems to be the only fix for now. No Android 7 With this feature.
I am just wondering why

So I searched for These and found a app named Miracast enabler. Thanks To @r3pwn
Though the app is not the only thing that will enable miracast there are some other things to do....
**A rooted Phone must required for this. And LineageOS or LOS based ROM.
So...
Here are the steps.....
1) First add the line in your build.prop and restart ur device.
persist.debug.wfd.enable=1
2)Now download the Apk and install
Link -- https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qIaDJmdbIJKvJEw-MZmhhvkoTpPdQ9-5/view?usp=drivesdk
Then open the app and give root permission then click on install. Give storage permission if it ask.
2) Now download Mirror enabler from this thread
Thread Link -- https://forum.xda-developers.com/android-tv/chromecast/experimental-enable-mirroring-device-t2812193
Direct download link from thread --- https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001616583
Open It and give root permission
Then u will see 3 options Disabled
Enable Them one by one! Then restart your phone! ( If The app crashes Try yo enable 2nd option first then reboot then Enable other 2 options.Then reboot)
After that goto Settings >Display> Cast then click on option(3 dot in the top). Then mark "Enable Wireless Display".
Now u will be able to cast ur device screen on any wireless display!

I doubt it, except if you are running a LOS 14 (based) ROM. But try it out and report: Make a backup in TWRP, install the apks as explained in the OP and try it out. If it works, great, if it doesn't just restore the backup from TWRP and tell us in this thread if it did(n't) work.

Hey I think this project is dead, so probably we won't get any response from the developers. Also I left Lineage Os for crDroid, and I am a lot happier with crDroid mainly because ScreenMirrowing is work, Hotspot, ECT. Sound works absolutely fine, you can fix some call cracks by turning off (Google's) Microphone! Here's a link , check it out and a lot of what's working in crDroid compared to Lineage Os whether 14.1/15.0 or 16.
