Cannot install Snapchat from Google Play (detailed) || - LG G6 Questions and Answers

I own an LG G6, updated to the latest firmware provided by LG (Oreo). Not rooted. Google Play continues to tell me "Can't install Snapchat" in a dialog box every time I try to install it. I have also tried installing via an APK, but that results in package manager just stating "App not installed." In either case, no error codes are shown.
I have tried to clear cache and data from the package manager/installer, Google play, and Google play services.
All 3 solutions don't work. I don't want to reset my entire device for one app, and hence as a last-ditch effort am posting here. Any solutions?

Try seeing if for some reason you have some residual snapchat app or something like that and try installing beta versions from apks and/or past versions and maybe try lg debloater and then try installing it.

Checked multiple different apps like Link2SD and others, still wasn't able to find any residual. No folders or data remaining on my device.

Missing Google Play Store app

I had a problem with the Google Play Store app not connecting, so I thought one way to fix it would be to disable it in MIUI settings and then re-enable it (I later figured out what the problem was, so now I just want to get the Play store back). I've re-enabled it, but the icon still doesn't appear and I can't access it. I've tried downloading a couple different versions in APK, and when I try installing I get the error "Application not Installed."
How can I fix this?

-Delete all the data/cache of the app then restart the phone.
-Do a wipe dalvik/cache from recovery or flash gapps.

Lost Play Store and Play Services, anyway to get them back?

Installed modded Play Store (through Lucky Patcher), install succeeded but Play Store would say not connected to the internet when launched, installed different versions of modded play store gave me the same result, gave up on modded Play Store and uninstalled it though Lucky Patcher and tried installing multiple versions from apkmirror, same thing, app installs, then tells me not connected to the internet when opened, so I thought Google Play Services was at fault, so I uninstalled both it and the Play Store through Titanium Backup, and even though I no longer have either installed, Play Store icon was still on the homescreen (won't launch though), did the Nougat update thinking it would overwrite the system partition and fix the issue, still the same.
Have though about flashing gapps, but thought it was too risky to install on non-AOSP, so now I don't know where to go from here, Help Please?
of course. Just download it via browser
Playstore ( unmodded ) : http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-store/google-play-store-7-3-07-k-all-0-pr-139935798-release/
Latest Play Service for x64 @480 DPI : http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-services/google-play-services-10-0-84-release/google-play-services-10-0-84-448-137749526-android-apk-download/
These are the right versions, no clue which you tried.
If youre on CM or the error still remains , download OpenGAPPS by any mirror and let it download the full AROMA package for x64. Flash the zip via twrp and select both missing apps. Watch your steps here, it asks you which to install and which to remove. For me the Aroma Control is a big buggy. You have to play with the volume rockers and the power button to go through the setup.
By the Way : I recommend to follow Google INC there to get the latest beta versions pre playreleased
For the future...
I would not recommend messing with Google apps and Lucky Patcher. This app can really mess up your accounts.
I also don't think it is allowed to discuss any Lucky Patcher related issues on these forums since large parts of "activities" that this app is used for are not completely legal.
The so-called modded APK from theirs can't be installed as it lacks a certificate. However if you achieve perfection after signing the APK and using their "second" method the following message persists:
Code:
Authentication is required. You need to sign into your Google Account.
reference:i63.tinypic.com 2ex1ug7.png
I used one x86 ver of Phonesky, it could do well with Play Store WITHIN ONLY A FEW MINUTES. Then it showed "Service stops. " The modded APK looks promising, there must be some other tricks to bypass the Google Serivce check.

Help, YouTube is not supported anymore

Like everyone I love to keep all my apps updated and the same goes for YouTube. Recently they pushed an update . Even if I have this phone running on lollipop the playstore says that my device isn't compatible with the app. I tried installing from other sources and even tried installing from other devices through share apps but no use. :crying:
Please help

Rom version?
The Rom version is A37fwEX_11_171209
I came to know that few of my friends with same phone have similar issues too
youtube go still works great. you should use it instead.
Hello everybody.
If you are the one who are suffering from non compatibility of YouTube app in your phone, then this post is for you all.
Firstly Download Updated Version Youtube apk from Apkmirror.com, Before downloading YouTube apk you must know the Architecture and dpi of the mobile which you are using. Those can be known by checking it on Droidapp which is available in Playstore.
After downloading, Turn Off "Do not install from Unknown Sources" option. You don't need to worry about viruses or malwares, because Apkmirror.com uploads apks directly from the Developers.
If this install works then go ahead and stream YouTube.
If that thing doesn't work out.. Then go to application management and clear off the data of YouTube app, Google Play Store app, Google Play Services app, and also Google Services Framework app. Then try to install the apk which has been downloaded previously from Apkmirror.com. It will work.
Unfortunately, if this method also doesn't work.., then go to apkpure.com and download the latest verison of YouTube apk. Install it, it works for sure.
This is what I did with my phone to run the latest versions of YouTube app.
I use OPPO A37 mobile. So this method is most recommended for OPPO A37 mobile users. Other mobile users can also try this method and check if it works.
Try multiple times with various versions and related architectures and dpis' it will work
Basically, it is a YouTube app compatibility issue with Oppo devices. In this situation, you can try the following solutions:
you can follow three things:
Solution one - Clear Cache & Data of Google Play Store and YouTube app. Reboot the device and reinstall the latest update.
Solution two - Sideload YouTube app from third-party apk site. We suggest using Apkmirror and Apkpure. It seems like Apkpure work fine for the users.
Solution Three - Download and Install YouTube Go. The official alternate version of YouTube app.

Installing games with OnePlus 8 Pro

Hi XDA,
Phone: OnePlus One Pro 8
Model: IN2025
OS: Oxygen OS 11.IN11AA
Magisk:1469b82a (21101)
I recently rooted my phone and it works quite well, I have used Magisk Hide to 'hide root from my banking apps', it works so does NFC and google pay.
I hide the following service through magisk hide: (Banks, Google Play Game, Google Play Services, an authenticator (Duo Mobile))
1) However, I don't seem to be able to install some games from google playstore, namely : Eve Echoes, World of Warships, Warpath ..all of them download but give the error "Can't install, try again"
Is there a work around?
2) On a side note: is apkpure a trusted website (they seem to have APKs for everything)?
Thank you!
Cheers,
DV

I'm not sure about why google play won't work, probably you can try to wipe data and cache of the Google Play services and google play store and maybe that would work?
I have the apkpure app and it works beautifully, it updates my apps and games faster than the app store and even beta version you can find there. I mainly use apkpure so I can download games and apps that are "not available in my region"

@dvartak May sound stupid, but does the Play Store app has storage access ? I had the same message when using microg and the Play Store, I wasn't able to install any "big" app until I gave the storage permission.

Hi,
Yes, it does. I can install big games and apps. I can install Genshin impact and other games(offline), which is why I am perplexed as to why others won't install.

That's bizarre never heard of it
Can I ask, have you got the dreaded lucky patcher installed?
If not then might be time to clear down play services, play store, play games etc, sign out - sign in
Try pushing the game by saying you want to install it via the web.
Go here and sign in, then find the game, choose your phone and itll push to your device, don't let the play store open the link
https://play.google.com/store
What modules do you have installed??

No lucky patcher
The only thing I have installed is systemless. I tried installing magiskhide props config to see if it helped; it did not, so I uninstalled it.
On the web, it says 'installed', but it isn't.
EDIT: I tried with another gmail account, reinstalling google play games.
Other online games such as Clash of Clans seem to work, so does Among Us and Genshin Impact.
The ones that don't work that I have tried: Eve Echoes, WarPath and World of Warships < All of these show up as installed on the web (but aren't installed on any android device that I own).
Eve Echoes downloads starts installing and gives the error unable to install.
Can some one who is rooted try if these games will work.
ok, one more interesting update: Netflix app seems to work, I thought it shouldn't work on rooted phones.

Ill try them, see what I get, not my types of games but sure np.
Must have detected root.
I think it's the game detecting it, not your system. Or Google play won't allow the installation if you're rooted on those games.
I'll try them now.
Seems to be working for me..that's warpath.. Installed then verified in game. I have play protect off
This is my version of magisk on canary.
Edit: Image uploads not working on the app.
It's version 1469b82a
You could maybe change to canary then update, will need to repatch and update magisk manager. It's easy, no need for ADB

Just so that I have understood it correctly,
Step 1: Set channel to Canary,
Step 2: Update Magisk and Manager to whatever is latest
Step 3: move the magisk_patched file to my downloads folder
Umm..what do you mean by repatch and update magisk ?
Sorry

Ok so change to canary.
Head back to the normal magisk screen.
You'll see two install/update buttons
Top is magisk
Bottom is magisk manager
Update the manager, it'll download,, then click install.
Next click magisk then install directly
Reboot and you're done .
PS: have your original magisk patched img ready just in case but I've done this a LOT and have never had an issue, so you'll be fine.

One quick question, should I disable magisk hide (settings) and systemlesshosts before doing this ?
EDIT:
a) ok so I tried this, I disabled the magisk hide before attempting this, it detected my magiskpatch during direct install. When the phone rebooted things were a bit slow and my internet was not working. Another reboot and everything was fast again, but no luck with Warpath.
b) Tried to clear cache and storage for playstore and google play games. Shutdown the phone, started it again.
No luck.
c) I downloaded APKPure to try and download 'Warpath', it downloaded but would not proceed with installation., I had to manually click install APK.>The game starts and asks to download additional files..., files are downloaded and it fails to install.
In the grand scheme of things it would be great if I could install everything, I can get by with not installing these games. I fear that this might an issue with others apps as well although so far I have not encountered any problems.
Any other things I could try ?
2) On another note, I wanted to know how I could backup my active partition (just incase I want to try things and something breaks).
3) This might not be related at all, I noticed that my root folder (using solid explorer) shows 0B free of 1.42 GB. Is this normal that the root folder is completely full ?
Thanks!

DV

Yes it's tthat's similar to mine. It's possible that that's the problem but I've not witnessed that before, maybe it is the problem.
Ok so it seems were running low on fixes here..it's almost certainly a permissions issue, maybe the system space? I'm guessing!
Have you tried to mount namespace??
Did you hide magisk manager? Unhide it. Btw I don't mean magisk hide I mean the manager, then reboot.
I'm not sure if there is a way to reset all permissions to apps including Android system apps but that would be my next step.
Beyond that, remove modules and wipe system in recovery, it'll be you're system, apps, settings, but storage will remain, it's what I do if I need to start over as system is where 90% of issues reside.. You will need to fastboot boot the magisk patched img then directly install after.
If it's not that then it's a deeper problem and even though it's just a few games at the moment it won't fix itself, so without a tonne of troubleshooting then it'll be MSM or full zip restoring. Probably MSM though as you'll get fresh everything.
Hang on your internet didn't work??
That's a sign that you're using a boot.img from the previous firmware??
That could be the problem. Re download you're firmware using oxygen updater mate.
Open settings /advanced
Then download the full zip.

Apologies for not being clear.
My wifi was connected there was just no data transfer.
The only magisk patch I have is from the large file that the phone/oxygen OS downloaded to get me OS 11. You helped me on my other thread.

Can't install Google Services / Google Play on Fire HD 10+ via FTB, "size must be positive" error.

I have a Fire HD 10+ running OS version 7.3.2.1
I downloaded FTB v 26.1 and follow the instructions. Enable developer options, disable OTA updates.
I can install custom launchers and everything seems to work fine.
However, when I try to install Google Services, it downloads the 4 files but when it comes to installation I get an error for all installations. It's a long error message but basically says "Error: size must be positive."
The most common solution seems to be deleting the Google Services folder and restoring it (which I tried to no success), as well as re-installing FTB or resetting the tablet. I tried it on a different computer, but nothing seems to work.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem? Thank you.
