So I did this once before and it ended up with a few apps force quitting on startup. Looking at a log cat it seems like they were unable to open android system webview I tried installing that form the app store with no dice.
Does anyone here know if it's possible to remove the google bloat and just install everything from the play store out of the things you need?
Stock OOS already has Google apps included. What exactly are you trying to accomplish by flashing Gapps over Google apps that are already installed?
This has worked with me GApps .
Hi everyone,
it seems the Play Store has got the same problem as years ago. After a clearing of cache and data, I have and empty installed app list and if I try to download apps bought time ago, they cost again.
I talked about the problem and it seemed to be related with detaching script on roms or apps like iytbp. No solutions found over the internet works (delete and readd the account, clearing cache partition, etc).
The only way to restore it was to restore back a previous titanium backup, data only, from a clean installation or from an uncleared play store.
It happened to me on XXX 9.1 but it's not rom related, 'cause it happened again on a clean installed stock Oreo 8.0 rom after installing iytbp with detach.plz method. But today a guy tried on a full stock Oneplus 5 and it happened the same (no root, no unlocked bootloader).
Can you please try if you have the same problem? After a Play Store backup, of course. I already sent a google feedback about that and, if you have the same problem, a google operator suggested to feedback them about that. Thanks in advance for the attention.
P.S. I tried the same on my Wiko Fever (full stock and updated) and it seems to have no problem at all. It also happended on Nougat, but I have not tested a lot.
Same issue here. I've also used the iYTBP detach script, you say it is caused by this? Have you found a solution? I'd rather not have to do a whole factory reset seeing as I don't have TB.
EDIT:
Found the solution to the problem for me. Not sure if this will fix it for good but for now Play store will update and installed apps show up. This solution requires root access. This is what I did:
1. Make full backup in TWRP.
2. Go to "system/priv-app/phonesky", cut the phonesky.apk (apk file for the Play store) file out of the directory to for example your documents folder.
3. Do a full (regular) reboot.
4. Copy the same apk you just move away form it's directory back to it's place (system/priv-app/phonesky).
5. Do another full reboot.
6. Wait about 30 seconds and the Play store should back on your device and functioning normally.
EDIT 2:
Issue where apps don't recognise that the user has purchased it still persists. After uninstalling the app and reinstalling it this issue got fixed.
I recently realized that since October, I can't uninstall my system apps such Calendar, Calculator, FM Radio, etc.
I used EU & MIUI Kosmos ROM and both gave the same result. I usually freeze them on Titanum Backup, then Uninstalled them, then reboot my phone. But after rebooted, the apps kept going back. I tried to uninstalled them with another apps such Root uninstaller, Root app deleter, successfully uninstalled, but when I tried to rebooted the phone it was boot-looped.
So, now I can only disable them through the Titanium Backup. I rooted my phone with Magisk, and I checked the two advanced option in Magisk Manager [Preserve Force Encryption & Preserve AVB 2.0/dm-verity.
Anyone knows why that happened? And how can I properly uninstall those system apps like usual?
Is the checked choices on the Magisk Manager be the cause?

Yesterday i flashed Hellas Miui and faced the same problem. I tried to debloat using debloater magisk module and it showed successful but after rebooting the apps were still there.
I googled a bit and found out that we need to disable all magisk modules before uninstalling system apps.
Then i successfully uninstalled mi video and weather using "System App Remover (Root Needed)" from playstore.
Try debloat via adb
There are several topics about that.

I had the same problems a month back. I used to uninstall apps using titanium but that doesn't work now and root uninstaller sends the phone to fastboot. The terminal solutions only disables them.
After a lot of research I found a solution.
1. You must be rooted
2. Install any root browser (I used root explorer)
3. Go to
System/apps
System/ priv apps
System/ product / apps
System/ product/ priv apps
All the suckers are there, delete the ones bugging u (u should know what u r deleting, at ur own risk)
5. Reboot and voila :good:

Looks like i will resetting.
Resetted the phone. All good now.
How to install / get back uninstalled Apps (APKs) with ADB.
A lot of people searched for a way to uninstall bloat or APKs using ADB because a lot of OEMs don't allow uninstalling many of preinstalled apps. Tested on Pie and Oreo. BUT most of the articles if not all of them ( couldn't find any article...
forum.xda-developers.com
tl;dr: I uninstalled com.android.vending via adb, now re-installing it from APK isn't bringing the icon, or the functionality, back.
So today I tried to use my phone as you do, and "Application Google Play Services has stopped" was popping constantly, stacking the messages one after another, making it hard to even browse through GUI. Restart or clearing app data and app caches didn't helped. So I connected it to PC, and did:
```
adb shell
su
pm disable com.google.android.gms
```
(note: I should've tried "safe mode". But I didn't, so I don't know if it would help.)
The service disable command stopped the errors, but nothing else worked - Google Maps, GMail, even contacts stopped showing - looks like they had no proper local copy (which is concerning as well, but not really the issue I'm trying to solve).
So keeping GMS disabled is not really an option. I tried installing version 21.something and 19.something via adb, these both were constantly crashing as well. I finally went down to `com.google.android.gms_18.7.19` and that one seem to be working. But before that, I started removing services which use GMS - as I assumed the crash is probably caused not by GMS just existing, but by being used incorrectly by other things. One of the removed ones was Play Store - I did:
```
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.android.vending
```
Ok, so no play store. But no problem, it can be easily re-installed from apk, right? Well no. This is the issue.
I tried installing a lot of various versions, but the store just isn't popping in the menu, nor in the activities handlers:
```
# adb shell monkey -p com.android.vending 1
** No activities found to run, monkey aborted.
# adb shell am start -n com.android.vending/com.google.android.vending.activities.MainActivity
Starting: Intent { cmp=com.android.vending/com.google.android.vending.activities.MainActivity }
Error type 3
Error: Activity class {com.android.vending/com.google.android.vending.activities.MainActivity} does not exist.
```
In the "Settings" -> "Applications", the Play Store is on the list, but it is marked as "not installed". Trying to "DISABLE" it or "ENABLE" again does not do anything useful (it uninstalls the version I installed, but original is still missing).
So installing the store succeeds, it just doesn't seem to do anything. Example cmd I use for installation:
```
# adb install -r -d "com.android.vending_19.9.23-all_0_PR_309342545-81992300_minAPI16(armeabi,armeabi-v7a,mips,mips64,x86,x86_64)(nodpi).apk"
Performing Push Install
com.android.vending_19.9.23-all_0_PR_309342545-81992300_minAPI16(armeabi,armeabi-v7a,mips,mips64,x86,x86_64)(nodpi).apk: 1 file pushed, 0 skipped. 2.7 MB/s (21821561 bytes in 7.817s)
pkg: /data/local/tmp/com.android.vending_19.9.23-all_0_PR_309342545-81992300_minAPI16(armeabi,armeabi-v7a,mips,mips64,x86,x86_64)(nodpi).apk
Success
```
I tied extracting all the factory APKs from N910 stock images, but I can't easily figure out which APK stores the shop (yeah, I might try extracting them all, it's one line script after all).
Any idea what's going on, or what I should check?
Ooh..
```
adb install -r --user 0 "com.android.vending_19.9.23-all_0_PR_309342545-81992300_minAPI16(armeabi,armeabi-v7a,mips,mips64,x86,x86_64)(nodpi).apk"
```
That worked. It took me far too long to figure out.
So I uninstalled the app from "--user 0" - so from system apps, but tried to re-install it for local user instead. Turns out the Play services won't work if installed this way.
Issue solved.
I started to have exactly the same f***ing issue yesterday! I have wiped all data tried reinstalling ROM and still same errror... Why did this happen?
Does your fix corrects it forever?
I will need to try your solution. Thinking of moving to another custom ROM from almost original one.
Sadly I am getting INSTALL_FAILED_VERSION_DOWNGRADE.
What ROM do you have? Does this work only with stock ROM?
Condensing the story down for people who just want to solve constant "Application Google Play Services has stopped":
If you have this error, try downloading and installing "com.google.android.gms" APK in version "18.7.19".
You don't need to uninstall anything, you can just replace the existing package with:
```
adb install -r -d --user 0 "com.google.android.gms_18.7.19_(040300-262610125)-18719015_minAPI23(armeabi-v7a)(nodpi).apk"
```
options:
* -r will allow re-installing the package on existing installation
* -d will allow to downgrade the package if current version is newer
* --user 0 will install the package as system package, as the original package is installed this way (on Note4 stock images)
You need to find and download the proper APK file first, ofc.
I also have this problem with Google Play services constantly crashing and making phone almost unusable.
I tried clearing app cache, safe mode. Did not help. Only uninstalling updates for Google Play Services stopped constant crashes, but left about half of my apps unusable state because they relay to recent version of GMS.
I will try manually install recent working google play services .apk and see if it helps.
But how to stop automatic update of Google Play Services to the crashing one again? Automatic updates disabled everywhere, including Auto Update Google apps.

Seems that clearing internal storage helped, so I think update + someold settings/data files causes this issue.
Could You please specify? By clearing internal storage You mean wipe all data?
Because Nothing helps, uninstalling Play Services updates, clearing app cache and even clearing the data. Also I cannot manually install google pay services .apk file, after installing it gives me installation failed. Play store installs Play Services, but they start crashing right after that.

The issue returned for me, and I was able to make it go away again by clearing cache & data only for few specific apps. Details here:

I then allowed Google Store to update everything, and the issue didn't come back. So looks like the solution from the above thread really fixed it.
Solved for me. I updated Google Play services from Play Store and appears that Google fixed the botched update by releasing new version. Hope they never botch it again and not trash my phone, but more permanent fix needed, like completely preventing unnecessary auto updates to critical Android parts.
