Android Auto: Something Went Wrong (Google Play Services) - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently acquired a Nexus 6P.
TWRP is properly installed as the Recovery - twrp-3.2.3-0-angler
First thing I did with the device was flash the latest Android 8.1 Oreo version to it - angler-ota-opm7.181205.001-abb36a2f
I then installed Lineage OS 15.1, Open G Apps 8.1 (nano), and SU
From there I've done nothing but struggle with bugs and quirks. The device has been re-imaged several different times, with different variations of the above setup, and one of the main things I need to get working (Android Auto) keeps failing. Does anyone have any idea why Android Auto keeps pulling up the error "Google Play Services doesn't seem to be working right now"
All of the suggestions I've found online have failed. Screenshots have been provided for the version info and error. I've already cleared the data caches and tried to re-install and re-flash the device.

I got pissed and went back to JUST the stock OTA for testing/verification. With the stock rom there are no issues. Seems like Lineage OS 15.1 on the Nexus 6P has some bugs to work out. A fully functional stock phone is better then being frustrated.
If anyone can confirm I'm not crazy or explain what I missed while troubleshooting that would be awesome.

LG G2 D02 CM 13 Problems

My boss rooted his LG G2-D02 and installing CM 12.1 in the process. Now, after knowing that CM 13 was already released, he downloaded a copy of it and immediately flashed it onto his phone. He got a problem with Gapps and DL-ed a problematic version which caused the notification,"Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped" to pop up repeatedly. We had tried following a few advices from this website but to no avail.
1.) We already tried using Force Stop and Disable under Apps->(Show system apps)->Setup Wizard (CM). I had also tried giving it app permissions, but all app permissions were already available.
2.) The only option is to flash CM 12.1 back again but it can't be done. My boss set the default recovery app to Cyanogenmod's own recovery program, which had limited functions, so I can't
also use TWRP ATM.
3.) My boss also tried something on ADB but to no avail
4.) Factory reset didn't also solve the problems.
I'm almost running out of solutions... Perhaps, I can use a helping hand from brighter minds in this community.
TIA
I'm using cloudyg2 v3.3 because cm13 has got a lot of bug for example
-I can't proceeded to music
-systtem has stopped once a hour
-I can't close touching vibration
I can't remember now but cm13 has got really much bug (yeah my english is very bad,I know this)
Now system is stable and battery is very very good but still İ can't scretch to music

"Can't connect to camera" Error

First of all I know there's another thread about this, but the guy seemed to be able to fix this problem by rebooting his phone so I'm making a new thread.
Today I flashed CM13 on my Nexus6P and it all worked fine until I tried starting the camera, which gave me the error mentioned in the title. Restarting the phone and erasng the app's data didn't work either.
Also everytime I boot my phone it shows me an "your device is corrupted" screen (not the bootloader unlocked screen) and when the phone starts it shows me something like "there's a problem with your phone, it might not work properly".
Is this my fault or is it a CM13 issue and how do I fix it? (I'm using today's official CM13 build with Open Gapps Mini arm64 for android 6.0)

the error when booted can be resoled by flashing the latest vendor img, or at least the one relevant to your roms version.
took me about 2 weeks to figure this out because no one would give me the slightest hint when i asked.
the error screen when it first tries to start i havent been able to resolve, and am thinking there may be none.
not sure what your camera issue could be, but i have seen cam issues from the kernel, when the switch to 6.0,1 first began to merge.
maybe test another kernel, other than that i dont know.

I'm facing exactly the same issue. The camera works fine when I flash a stock based ROM like pure nexus or digitalhigh but as soon as I flash an aosp based ROM or cyanogenmod like chroma,screw'd,benzo. The camera says couldn't connect to camera and nothing seems to work. I've wiped cache, data but still no progress.
I even tried the flashable camera.zip but didn't work.
Problem Solved !!!

Just flash the MBD08M.img via fastboot, then flash CM13 on top of it, restart the phone. The Camera won't work yet, now go to Benzo Rom and use his flashable vendor image for MMB29M via Recovery and Reboot. And it works like charm ! =D
You can also flash him flashable camera.zip, to get the stock camera

Lineage OS 13 bootloop after reboot

EDIT: THIS WAS RESOLVED IN THE NEW 20171231 NIGHTLY, EVERYTHING WORKS PERFECTLY NOW!
So I have this problem with Lineage OS 13 on my N10, so I flash the following packages:
Super SU 2.78
Busy-box
Open Gapps 6.0 nano
Lineage 13 10/14/17 nightly
The first boot is successful, I install some apps, watch some videos, normal tablet stuff. The problem is when I reboot, every time I reboot it ends in a boot loop. The tablet just won't boot up after I reboot it. The first boot works great, but nothing works after-wards.
Doesn't work on mine either, with CM13 20171017 build. I also made comment on the CM14 build thread here on XDA. I couldn't complete the initial setup using the CM14 build. I'm going back to stock.
I have the same problem with 20171021
I was able to reproduce the Error and attatched a logcat.
The bootloop always started while installing the App "immobilienscout24".
Hope someone can examine my logcat. I attached 2 (split) files, because I don't know, what is relevant.
Best regards
In my case the "BlueMail"-App cause the bootloops. After a factory reset LOS13 works fine, at the end of the install process of BlueMail Android restarts and bootloops. Deleting the bluemail-folder via TWRP solves the problem.

So basically I have to pick my apps wisely or lineage will reboot? **** that noise I'd rather run stock lollipop, lineage on my N10 is awful.
Again bootloop at the current nightly version. Official Lineageops version is slowly evolving to crap. I switch to the unofficial nougat version!
I have the same issue of constant boot loops. I tried several LOS nighly build w/o any success.
Funny thing is, after i rolled back to an old CynogenMod backup (v13.0 snapshot from 21.12.2016) it started to boot loop too, after I started updating my apps with Playstore.
So the bug must be very old, and it must be in CM/LOS, not in some specifiy app...
Folks, there is a defect open in the official lineage bug tracking system. please add your comments there - maybe this needs some more support to get looked at:
https://jira.lineageos.org/browse/BUGBASH-1075
Marktplaats causes boot loop
In my case, 'marktplaats', a dutch app, caused the boot loop. At some point I decided to upgrade to Lineage. I never had any issues on Cyanogenmod 13.
There seems to be a solution for this Problem in the newest nightly, See
https://jira.lineageos.org/browse/BUGBASH-1052
I've done a test Installation with my two Problem apps and it works fine for me.

Need help getting LineageOS to be stable (15.1 UNOFFICIAL, hltevzw, TWRP 3.3.0)

I have an SM-N900V (Note 3, Verizon variant, hltevzw).
Detailed timeline:
- I flashed it back to firmware OB6 using Odin 3.09.
- I rooted it using ArabicToolApp.
- I used this tool to unlock the bootloader
- I installed a build of LineageOS 14.1 for hlte
- It didn't recognize the SIM so I did a dirty flash of this build of LineageOS 15.1 for hltetmo on top (hltetmo actually has different hardware than hlte, and the correct one for SM-N900V)
- Messed around with the APNs until it recognized and connected to Verizon's network. I DO have functioning SMS and LTE data, but I have not tested phone calls yet
- Messed around some with SuperSU in system- and systemless-mode. Bricked my device more times than I could count, then unbricked over and over using SuperSU's impeccable installer. Messed around with this quite a bit
- Also messed around with Xposed some. The OS is too unstable to run Xposed Installer correctly, so I uninstalled it
- Removed SuperSU, installed Magisk. Phone now passes SafetyNet
So, my phone now runs 8.1 and a Lineage build from 9 days ago. Cool. But, if I was satisfied I wouldn't be making this post. There are multiple instances of the same kind of "app freeze" - App screen freezes, sometimes it'll go completely black. Interactivity doesn't work, obviously, the app is completely frozen. Hold Back to kill doesn't work (Application Killed toast shows, but nothing happens). ANR (when it comes up) Close doesn't work. Home button works and brings me away from the app, but it's still there. Swipe away in Overview doesn't actually kill the app. Even in App Info, Force Stop doesn't work. The app is forever frozen. Tapping the icon from the launcher no longer does anything, it doesn't even bring up the app. The app is permanently crashed and inaccessible until a reboot.
Issues:
- Sometimes when booting the phone will not recognize the SIM until a reboot. As in, "No SIM" message and everything
- Sometimes it will get stuck at boot, I have foxy-boot installed, so I can see the logs. I don't remember what it was all about, if it comes up again I'll update the post
- Google Chrome sometimes crashes when trying to download a file. I've gotten my phone to self-host before, but this issue always seems to come back, and when it does Google Chrome ALWAYS crashes when trying to download a file. App Freeze
- Netflix installs and logs in but freezes at the "can't connect to service (-9)" message. App Freeze
- Certain apps like NativeScript Playground get stuck at the splash screen. App Freeze
- Xposed Installer did this when opening the Settings, whether Xposed was installed or not. App Freeze
- F-Droid also sometimes crashes, although it's somewhat arbitrary, I can't reproduce it reliably. App Freeze
I have tried reflashing the ROM, flashing Xposed uninstaller, reinstalling Magisk, none of it seems to work. I have TWRP 3.3.0 so I can do pretty much anything that doesn't involve the SD card (the SD card is probably broken in hardware, it's so read-only that Android and TWRP both can't write to it at all, but they can both read the same half-broken filesystem).
I fear that this OS is just too unstable for the phone and there's nothing I can do. I sincerely hope this is not the case.
Try other ROMs or perform a clean installation.
Make sure you are on PL1 bootloader/modem.
Currently using Resurrection Remix v5.8.5 Nougat because it was the last Android version for this device with working Bluetooth calls but if you don't use that feature you could use their Pie version as well.
RR ROMs are solid and work extremely well.
Do a clean installation via TWRP if you go this route.

I did a clean installation of RR 6.0.0 (Android 8.1) and it works a lot better than LineageOS did, with even more configuration options. I really really hate Pie and its gesture-based gimmicks (Screw you Google for copying more of Apple's bad design decisions), so I assumed Oreo would be more stable, but the ROM I installed still has crashing apps. Google Chrome still won't download most things (I've gotten it to download before), trying to change the accent color crashes the 'LineageOS Settings' app, and F-Droid is seriously messed up, but most other things are stable, including the Verizon network which required no pesky APN setup.
I'm on the OB6 bootloader/modem, is that a problem? I doubt that would be an issue, but I can always back up and reflash via Odin. The cool thing is that I installed a patch to TWRP which backs up /data/media along with everything else, after installing the custom ROM. So, really, I can do anything and be perfectly fine. There's, AFAIK, no way to ruin the phone unless something exploits the eMMC brick bug.
If there's another ROM you'd recommend me install, I'd be happy to try it out. I would really like to have a stable OS on here, where Chrome will work and download files. I'd also love Camera2 API since the phone has the chip for it (Snapdragon 800), but none of the ROMs I have support it and there's been no discussion online other than some years-old threads with no answers. I know there have been some articles online listing Note 3 as a phone that'd support Camera2 API with a software update. Would updating the bootloader/modem do anything on that front?
I would upgrade to PL1 bootloader/modem for your device. This is what I have and have had 0 issues. I'd recommend you trying the Samsung Internet browser over Google Chrome; it's much better in my opinion.
You can find the modem here:
https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=160694
As far as ROMs are concerned you can either try the Nougat version of RR which is what I am currently using as my daily driver with no issues at all including Bluetooth calls:
[ROM][HLTE\TMO\CHN][OFFICIAL]*** Resurrection Remix N 5.8.5 ***[13.03.2018]
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-resurrection-remix-n-v5-8-3-vanilla-t3615227
See here to check whether or not your phone has the Camera2 API capabilities; if not use OpenCamera.

Excuse me but custom ROMs don't have "the Samsung Internet browser". Additionally the modem shouldn't cause app crashes (if it does, correct me please).
I might try the Nougat ROM. Bluetooth calls don't matter to me, but stability does. I just kinda really like Oreo and all its customization options but it may be too new for this old phone from 2013. It still works as a phone though, Messages and phone calls work fine, so I may just deal with it.
I use Open Camera, and I've tried multiple Camera2 API enablers. The phone has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 and the necessary links (in hardware, between the camera/other things) to support Camera2, but nobody seems to have tried it. Probably because the Verizon Note 3 is really locked down, and can only be rooted on a special version of the samsung ROM, and can only be bootloader-unlocked via the eMMC brick bug... There are Magisk modules for Camera2 on Exynos-based devices, but none for the Verizon Note 3 AFAIK.
I just found out that RR 7 officially supports `hltetmo`, but RR 6 doesn't. That's kinda sad, I hate Pie, but I might try it...
I've had the SEPL stuff before, that's the one that can't be rooted. I suppose I didn't consider upgrading again after I unlocked my bootloader. I'll try SEPL1 firmware again, but with a custom ROM...
You can install the Samsung browser from the Play Store. Again, highly recommended.
As far as SEPL1 just update the modem to it; that shouldn't cause any issues but it will ensure your SIM is recognized and data works with the latest ROMs. That is one requirement you will see listed on all of these ROMs.
Not sure which one you are trying to install but here are all the Resurrection Remix versions:
Nougat:

Oreo:

Pie:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/rom-resurrectionremix-v7-0-0-t3894244
If you don't care about Bluetooth audio during calls then you can safely use Oreo and Pie options.

Yeah but, data and calling worked fine on the LineageOS and RR roms, so there's no reason to update the modem.
Besides, I flashed SEPL1 6 times using Odin (multiple times by flashing, rebooting directly into download mode and flashing it once more) and it doesn't want to update. Still on OB6. On the latest (official Pie) RR rom, data worked on first boot but doesn't work anymore (I'm going to mess around with the data settings until it works), but I have no reason to believe that my phone needs a modem update to function.
I did, many times, make calls to various phone numbers and they all worked flawlessly. SEPL1 is therefore not needed if that's all it does.
And I do know about all the Resurrection Remix versions: One is Nougat from their archive, one is the Oreo version I had installed just yesterday before flashing Pie, and the other one is Pie which is now officially supported.
I am currently working on getting RR7 to work, it's only crashed a few times, and I don't even remember what those times were (I think it was using the Back button in Overview/Recents at the same time as the Overview button?)
When updating modem via Odin you have to pull the battery and don't let it reboot the phone for it to stick (disable that option in Odin) and flash it again and then reboot. If you look at the ROM threads for anything newer than Android v5 they all recommend updating to the latest bootloader & modem for your device which in this case is PL1. This can be to prevent crashes/no signal /no SIM, etc...
Are you dirty flashing these ROMs? I have never experienced any crashes with any of the RRs on my phone but I always do a clean install and make sure to also delete the "Android" folder on my SD Card via TWRP after doing the "Advanced" wipe and deleting everything listed there except for the External SD Card.

"pull the battery and don't let it reboot the phone for it to stick (disable that option in Odin) and flash it again and then reboot"
So...
- Reboot phone into Download mode
- Pull battery while in Download mode
- Flash thingy
- Reboot back into Download mode
- Flash thingy again
? That will be very difficult to do with my dodgy charging cable that doesn't like being repositioned...
I do that without pulling the battery, but I could try it with.
I'm downloading the full SEPL stock image to flash. Once that's done, I'll flash it, reflash TWRP, restore my backup, and see if the baseband has updated.
And no, never dirty flashed the ROM. Always completely wiped data, system, cache and everything. I always backup first. I currently have 3 backups: Lineage OS (before installing RR), RR6 (Oreo), and RR7 (right now before that stock image I'm going to flash).
My external SD card is nonfunctional and read-only with some trash files from the previous phone.
I flashed the stock SEPL ROM. Baseband still didn't change. Restored from backup, SIM now works. Network is detected, SMS and data both work reliably on all reboots.
I will mention that I did brick my phone by using Odin to erase the eMMC, but I fixed that from TWRP, and now everything works flawlessly. There are still some app crashes, but most things are very stable. Camera2 API still nonexistent, which is sad because I got used to it on my old phone, but I shouldn't hope for it.

Nexus 4 Help

So i'm trying to install a new custom rom. I was following a guide i had found on this website.
I was successful in unlocking the bootloader and rooting the device but something went wrong along the way.
I'm trying to sideload the rom.zip folder onto the device so i can install it. I'm able to get it on there but immediatly it attempts to install and it fails, this is what i get after the zip file hit's 100% sent...

I was following this guide here https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/general/nexus-4-guide-unlock-bootloader-root-t2266654
however some of the attatched links to install stuff were missing so i had to hunt elsewhere for what i needed.
But i am stumped on what to do next. i'm not overly worried as it's not my main phone, just a backup i was trying to replace a Not working so well previous OS it had on it. Any help would be very appreciated
Obviously you are trying to install an Android 9 or 10 based ROM using 7 years old installation instructions.
The given error message already tells you what to do:
"Too Small/systempartition detected (must be at least 1333788672 bytes). You need to repartition your device before installing this ROM".
Look e.g. here in the initial post:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/development/rom-lineageos-15-1-t3758779
There you'll find some hints for how to repartition, I used the directly linked script. It just increases the system partition by decreasing the cache partition (it doesn't have to be that big anymore) and leaves the data partition as it is.
Ty for the response. I decided that's not the route i want to take and simple just want to flash a stock OS back onto the device. The phone is using Clockwork Recovery mod v6.0.4.7 witch the phone will always go to via recovery mode.
Everytime i try to sideload a factory image from https://developers.google.com/android/ota
i get errors
i get

There is only one OS a custom rom that seams to ever work and that is Lineage OS 15.0.1
but i don't like it because regardless of everything i have tried i simply cannot get Google apps on it.
Just would like to get a factory Android OS back onto it.
Thank you
Again there's an absolute clear error message. Please find out what a "Hammerhead" device is, just type it in the search field of XDA...
If you have problems with Gapps and LOS 15 (most probably due to system space problems), I would recommend you to try LOS 14.1 - there are current builds here in the forum.
The stock rom is very old and thus has a very outdated security patch level.

i'm aware of witch device each one is for i just wanted to see if it would work as i did initially want a newer version of the OS on the phone as i had issues with the previous ones, i appear to be having zero device issues with the current 8.1 ore lineage OS variant.
I even tried "occam" witch is the stock flavors for this device, i'd get the same message and or just a simple "installation aborted"
i'm doubtful of it being a space issue as i am showing 12gbs of free space with the current operating system on it. I can't get the g apps to sideload onto the device, i even tired manually downloading the google play apps and such onto the phone from my computer via APK files downloaded online, it installs but immediately crashes and won't run.
i'm certain i've tried other and older rom packs on this site as well and i run into the same issue where it just aborts install, for some odd reason this one Lineage OS 8.1 variant works but nothing else does.

So does this mean you were fully aware that you were trying to install a Nexus 5 ROM on a Nexus 4? You can't expect this to work.
Regarding the Gapps: They are installed on the SYSTEM partition. What you can see in the OS as free space is only related to the DATA partition. So it doesn't matter how much free space is shown there. LOS 15.1 uses much more space on the system partition so that it's hard to get even the pico version of OpenGapps on it. Some builds worked, some not - as I experienced myself. I've had every version of LOS on my Nexus 4 and 15.1 was the hardest to get the Gapps installed.
This could also be a problem of the recovery. I don't know much about Clockwork as I've always used TWRP.

Hm well i admit my failure with that, but I did say that i tried Stock roms for the Nexus 4 themselves and they still were not installing. I will try to sideload an Older LineageOS Variant then, but as before it was never giving me a Storage or space issue when trying to load the GApps.
Well i have some good news now i seam to have succeeded in getting Lineage OS 14.1 (Android 7.1.2) Installed on the device along with Google apps, seams to be running fairly well so far, shame it's not supported OS anymore but it's a backup phone and i simply just wanted to be able too have my Spotify on it in case i ever have to use it otherwise lol.
:good:
I will not require help further thank you for your comments
