IYPTB Not Installing

I'm on A2017U 7.1.1 B32 TWRP installed and rooted
I've uninstalled the system youtube app and youtube vr
Placed both the installer and apk in the Download Section of my phone
Flashed in TWRP
Nothing shows up. Any suggestions?

If you have Magisk, use the module. The thing os that Android seems to prioritize the app that's in data as opposed to the one on system. So what you have to do for it to work is get a file manager (i recommend the new Root Browser, it's probably the least bloated out there), go to /data/app, then find youtube (maybe com.google.youtube?) and delete the folder. After that just go back one folder and return again, check that it isn't there, and then go to Play Store and deactivate auto-updates (open the app description, and open the 3 dot menu).
If you don't have magisk all that stuff will work. Just remember that if Play Store updates the app you'll lose it until you reboot

There isn't a youtube folder where you instructed me to look. I think Titanium Backup removed it on it's own.
I might just have to reinstall this ROM, install Magisk, and use the module. Ugh spent all afternoon/evening unlocking and rooting this thing. Almost there.
Appreciate the feedback

What did you do with titanium backup?? Did you uninstall the app after flashing iYTBP?
Try rebooting twice, the app might get replaced

I used Titanium to uninstall the original Youtube app that came with the phone.
I've rebooted twice. Still not showing up in either the App Drawer, or Data/APP folder.
Reinstalled the iYPTB via twrp again, rebooted, and still nothing in either locations.
I'm at a loss, almost ready to go magisk tomorrow.

You didn't have to do that... It might have uninstalled the /system/app one
One other thing. Use root browser to get to /system/app, find the youtube folder. Check the apk's thumbnail. If it is iytbp's then you almost definitely have com.google.youtube on data or auto-update on play

So now you don't have any youtube app on /system/app? Install Youtube via play store, then use Apps2SD or Link2SD to make it a system app (TB just can't) and then flash iYTBP again

Using Link2SD When I click. "Integrate update into system" I get an error "System Device busy or Resource busy"

Flashed iYPTB again after reinstalling YouTube, and now it's the Vanced version! Awesome! Finally got my phone to where I want it
And yes, I unchecked auto update from the play store

That's the problem.
You need to have a working youtube app before flashing the iYPTB zip on TWRP, but you should clear data and cache of this app beforehand.
PS: I also have Magisk but didn't use the module.

Might just say to heck with it and reinstall everything with magisk next weekend. Working great as is right now though

This is way late but might be helpful in the future.
I've never had luck with the Vanced installer for some reason.
Anyway, awhile back @raystef66 made an installer with the black iYTB which worked perfectly.
Besides installing new builds manually one could also swap out the builds in the installer with a newer one, white or black, I guess.

I used it, it's nice and all but the Magisk module works the same and installs the latest version. Since you use microG you may not have trouble with auto-update, but sometimes I had to reflash the zip if play updated it (Auto update is disabled and still sometimes it just decides to ignore that...)

Lineage OS APK Installation

Hi, I recently installed Lineage OS 15.1 using this ROM. via TWRP.
Everything works fine, but I haven't been able to install any APKs.
Whenever I download an APK, (I tried several, including F-Droid and microG Services Core) it does not do anything. I am using the default 'Files' app to try and open the APK.
There is no option (that I can find) to 'enable installing apps from unknown sources'.
There is an option to just install unknown apps, but it says that there aren't any apps. The only option in that setting is to 'show system', and that doesn't do anything.
I can't install apps over ADB as ADB does not recognize my device.
Any advice & help would appreciated, thanks!

its weird in android 8.1 if you try to install an apk from navegator or file explorer it ask you to allow that action.
I think that maybe you have a LOS 15.1 Gappless without package installer?

I never try a room without gapps but if you can install only package installer apk from app mirror maybe you don't need to flash gapps.

did you find a solution without having to install gapps? I would really like to be able to install apks without having to install play store...

Anyone Running PH-1 Minus Google? Using F-Droid Only

I'm seeing more and more people use Android phones Google-free by not installing gapps and getting all their applications through alternative sources like F-Droid. When I look at the custom ROMs for the Essential Phone, I see most have gapps baked in.
Just curious if anyone has experience on the PH-1 without gapps or Google service. What ROM are you using? Any issues?

Yes I'd love to know if anyone has gone microG, Xposed FakeGapps on Oreo with a custom rom?
Also if anyone has used Terminal Debloater on Stock Oreo and doing ok?

Does Generic System Image come with Gapps? if not then you can use that.

I was thinking that as well. In fact, perhaps the deodex ROM is without gapps. I'll have to ask in that thread.

It has been a long process, but I am most of the way there. Used deodexed Oreo Stock. Had to use Tingle manually to patch the framework.jar to get microg running. Haven't debloated yet, but most of the stock apps are disabled at this point. Most apps I use are from F-Droid. Using it as DD now.
Took several days to discover the NFC point is very narrow at the bottom center of the back. I had thought I had broken something. :silly:

I think I'm 99.9% there with CarbonROM LOL...
UnifiedNip is registerd in system, but this section I can't checkmark, even after rebooting. I was using the latest Preview GMSCore, I'll flash the rom over and try with the Stable GMSCore and see if it makes any difference and report back.
I have Xposed, FakeGapps, Magisk 16.7, Magisk Module for F-Droid Privilege, and Debloater (Terminal), and F-Droid. Everything working pretty good, Debloater systemlessly removed some Gapps I didn't want, Browser, Calendar, Gallery...

I don't have "UnifiedNlp has known location" checked even though Satstat and OSM clearly show the location.
I am using Core -127 from NanoDroid 17.7.
Debloater is up next.

Well I just wiped/formatted, flashed back the Oreo fastboot image, now ready to flash in carbonrom and try this as I said with the stable versions of microg...

Where did you see, get this at?
Ok UnifiedNIp is registered in system - [Checked]
To make everything work correctly, you'll want to push the GmsCore.apk to /system/priv-app/GmsCore/GmsCore.apk and then extract the lib/ folder from the GmsCore.apk to /system/priv-app/GmsCore/lib - otherwise the bundled libraries will not be found by the app and the maps library will crash apps.
If you don't know how to extract from an .apk, just rename to .zip, then copy out the lib directory.
I did have Xposed modules installed for this, so I will go back one more time, wipe it all again, and this time, see if I get it again.

I had the FakeGapps errors in the Xposed Log [systemless version 90.2-beta3]. Tried several things. Interesting you didn't experience them.
I was always able to get UnifiedNLP to registered. It just doesn't show that it has a known location in the microg self check, but SatStat, OSM and others show it.

How are you installing microg? I just installed the apk is all, these versions and in this order;
Services Core - com.google.android.gms-12221403.apk
Services Framework Proxy - com.google.android.gsf-8.apk
Store (FakeStore release) - com.android.vending-16.apk
DroidGuard Helper - org.microg.gms.droidguard-14.apk

I noticed I had an issue with FakeGapps because the MicroG self check showed that sig spoofing failed. At some point after that, I found the Xposed logs showing many errors for Null Pointer exception. I searched around but could not find anyone else with the issue. I submitted an issue on github.
SatStat, OSM are open source apps that will show location on a map. They are able to locate me so I know it is working using UnifiedNlp Settings (shows in the Setting > Location settings).
I installed microG using NanoDroid 17.7 using the full package.

I installed Xposed Framework 90.2-beta3 systemless through Magisk.

I'd use the Xposed Installer - XposedInstaller_3.1.5.apk;
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811
But I've learned a trick with it, flash rom and magisk, then install Xposed as the first app, and install the framework from within Xposed 'Install/Update' click cloud on right...
P.S. I'm not using Xposed any longer since it will break SafetyNet check....

Can't install bromite systemless webview

Previously I installed bromite systemless webview and everything worked perfectly.
And when the update came I was not able to update it neither from f-droid nor magisk. Both failed.
I uninstalled the module and tried to re-install it but it failed.
(And also previously I was able to use chrome flags in bromite browser but now I couldn't)
Please help.

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"

If not then might be time to clear down play services, play store, play games etc, sign out - sign in

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

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

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!
Cheers,

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.

Do you mind linking the APKpure app here please. My guess is that I have to side load it.?

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.
