Hi,
I have a Samsung Y S5360 (which I like a lot) and Wechat was insisting too much on updating to its latest version, for which I had to upgrade to a newest ROM, so I got Lollipop (just that was a log process for me, as I'm not an expert, but I'm learning a lot the last days). Anyway, so I am installing apps now and I have some issues that's not making it so easy.
1. I'm in China so I have no access to Play Google. Also installing downloaded apps from the SD card has only worked until now for Link2SD and Superuser, all other apps I tried to install that way get parsing error.
So, I'm getting apps from Baidu and Chinese apps provider. My Chinese reading is less than okay, so I kind of follow by instinct, which is possible, that way I've installed already Pleco, and another couple of apps successfully. Except for Airdroid, and Wechat.
2. The problem with Airdroid is that I could get a 2.something version but not the latest 3.something, and as I tried to get it, even from Airdroid web, it's not working.
3. The problem with wechat, which is way more important to me than Airdroid, is that I get to install an old version, but still newer than the one I used to have when I was on Gingerbread. One strange thing that happened is that the look of it though wasn't the same as the new style of wechat but as the Wechat of a year or so ago. Strange. ... Besides that, then the most relevant issue is that once installed the old version I get the message to update it, once the update is downloaded and installed, I opened it and I only get to see the opening image (the earth and the guy) and that's it, it stops.
I tried installing the latest version from some of the Chinese providers of apps, but it happens the same. It's installed, and it's opening, I see the earth and the guy, and then off to the screen of icons in android.
I've tried to uninstall and install, wiping cache in between. Didn't worked. I tried redoing the process of installing the ROM all over again. Didn't work. I tried to leave Wechat in the phone, and not move it to the SD Card. Didn't work. I tried kissing the phone, and chanting some Hawaiian healing songs. Didn't work.
Here I am, at the end of the day, trying another way, I kind of believe the force is with XDA devs
Hi Everyone,
I am currently using the latest CM build 13 (07/07/2016) and having some issues downloading Snapchat.
When I click on Snapchat in Playstore it just crashes.
I have wiped my phone and freshly installed the build again and same issue occured.
I thought it might have been the G Apps i installed so using the G Apps Open and G App base from CM both provided the same result no change.
I downloaded the snapchat apk and installed it that way but when i try to launch it snapchat crashes.
I am running out of ideas has anyone else ran into this problem ?
Running Correct Date/Time, Removed Cache and Data from Playstore, Snapchat, Play Services.
EDIT: I had to format everything on my phone (Backed up data of course) this has resolved the issue not sure why though.
I know with the TF101 droid tablet, running certain custom ROMs requires you to format the internal storage with a certain version of TWRP, otherwise the Play Store will error out
Hello, I'm having a problem I could not solve even after searching in many forums and video tutorials.
My situation is as follows. Due to technical problems in my Galaxy Y GTS-5310 (it suffered some sort of electric pane that disabled the camera and the input of the headset), I decided to buy a GTS-5360.
The GTS-5310 device was ok to run all applications I used normally, with 4.1.2 Jellyfish. Whenever any updated version of any app was not available on Google Play for some reason (with some exceptions here and there), I've always been able to install it directly through the SD Card.
As I imagined, this new device (with old 2.6.1 Gingerbread) did not recognize the installation of most apps I used (such as Whatsapp, Waze or Instagram). I have managed to install only few of them, like Facebook Lite or Root Browser, and only through the SD Card.
On this new phone, the Google Play Store always shows me a message of incompatible versions (either with Error 492 or simply not making the download button available). Whenever I try to install any of these through SD Card (by downloading the .apk file directly to my computer, be it in Google Chrome or Firefox), then Parse Error appears ("There is a problem parsing this package").
So my first attempt was to use Google Market Helper to change the ROM record as it is viewed by Google Play. However, even changing the version registration of the device to a more upgraded one, this did not work.
The next step was to actually install a new ROM. I have since tried Hyperion 9.0 (2.6), then I try upgrading to Lollipop (4.4), which runs ok, except for installing these apps. As far as I know, the latter should accept the download and installation of most of the apps mentioned above. But whatever I tried, I kept getting the same error messages (Error 492 via Google Market, Parse Error via SD Card).
Since then, some of the suggestions I've followed have not worked either. These include deleting the .android_secure folder from the SD Card, then clearing the cache of processes such as the Google Play Store and Google Framework, as well as clearing the dalvik cache through CWM and rebooting. I did this more than once, but the problem persisted.
I wonder now whether even upgrading the Galaxy Y GTS-5360 to a compatible ROM such as Lollipop is enough for being able to run these applications due to hardware issues.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Hi, galaxy y s5360 just support gingerbread is the reason of pars error when you install higher android apps.
About 492, any notification( log in error or gtalk...)?
Did you tried:
- Turn off device, Delete that folder on computer, then flash the rom again
- log in new gg acc
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.
Hi
I have Axon 7, A2017 (Chinese) with Android 8.0.0 software (ZTE_A2017V3.0.0B11). On the previous version 7.1.1 the problem also occurred. On the Marshmallow version (the first software from the news) everything was fine.
The problem is that some applications such as Google Chrome, Google Maps, Google Dev, Google Canary, Maps Go (uses Google maps) and a few others; SOMETIMES they hang on startup (usually the splashscreen). In the case of Google Maps sometimes hangs immediately after the start (when showing the map). After a temporary suspension, I receive a dialog that the application is not responding - I can close it, wait or send feedback to Google.
This problem does not occur every time. I do not know what it depends on, but sometimes these applications start and work normally. Unfortunately, most often they do not work when I need them most ...
I would like to add that if any of these applications has such a problem, each of the others listed will behave the same - no response. However, if this problem does not occur (the application worked), the others will also start correctly and I will be able to use them until Android does not kill their process.
Does any of you have a similar problem?
------------------------------------------------
To get rid of this bothersome problem, I tried to restore the phone to the factory settings and after the reset do not change anything in the phone / application settings. Did not help.
Next, I tried to downgrade to the previous version of the system (7.1.1) using the official EDL packages provided by ZTE., from: zte.com.cn/china/sitecore/content/device/home/support/detail?id=B4C0ACE418834F588FED0C72D6046C78, package ZTE_A2017V1.0.0B15. On this version (7.1.1) there is the same problem, with the difference that the applications are jamming at startup, with white background (I see splashscreen on Oreo).
Since I remembered that everything worked well on Marshllow, I decided to do a downgrade version 6.0.0 (also from official sources, package: ZTE_A2017V1.0.0B15). Unfortunately, this version of the system from the official source does not work properly for me! Firstly, the phone does not search SIM cards at all. Secondly, WiFi can not be activated on the phone. Third - i can not enable USB debugging! (ie, debugging itself can be enabled, whereas after connecting the phone to a PC, there is no dialog window on the phone with the option of accepting a PC fingerprint). I had to use an SD card to update the system.
Does anyone of you also had a problem with this compile version after roolback?

Xerphis

I only experienced that with the chinese oreo betas. Every google app wouldn't start, only a white screen.
Does not happen for me on stock 7.1.1, AOSP or with GSIs.
Unfortunately, until then I could not find a solution to this problem.
Therefore, I am asking you to make an EDL backup (without user data of course). Can any of you make such a copy of your software for A2017?

I also have an Axon 7 chinese (A2017) whit Nougat 7.1.1. (A2017V2.0.0B13)
I have the same problem as Xherpis, exactly the same.
I did the same as Xerphis, I restored the phone to the factory settings, but I still have the same problem.
Could you send me the B15 EDL Backup ?.
If it did not work, I would have to change my phone, because there are many applications that do not work.
Regards.
There is a fix posted on the Edl Oreo page
This link explains how to fix this issue.

Initially, uploading backup did not help me. At the beginning, the applications behaved the same.
It helped to install the Google Services Framework version 8.0.0.-4147944.
I will add that the installation of this framework on the previous system image did not help - but you can try this first..
Hi Xerphis,
What is the final solution then? i am also facing the same issue . i am on A2017 7.1.1 B13 . modem is pretty stable but not the apps which dependent on google. Chrome, maps, paytm etc..

For me, installing every google apk fixed the issue. I was using B15, though.
You could try the yalp app?
The yalp app was good on a custom ROM I was testing.
This is an alternative to the google play store, however its usually the google play services that cause the crashes, etc
I'm running the B15 Oreo update, the apps are no problem on this, the earlier version before B13 was bad for apps force closing, crashing etc.
Had the same issue, found it to be the google play services, somthing on the last update really f%^&ed things up,
1. force stop
2. clear cache
3. clear all data
4. press 3 dots > uninstall updates
5. let it run... it will start acting strange for 1-2 min that will update the google services again and your good to go.
After installing the backup from @bornlivedie and installing Google Framework Services v8.0.0.-4147944, everything worked well.
Unfortunately, there is a network problem. Namely, I spend a lot of time in the place where the 4G network is starting (the network switches between 3G and 4G continuously), so it increased the battery usage. So in the settings I've always turned on by default 2G / 3G for both cards. Currently, changing these settings - even forcing the 2G network will not change the network mode, and all the time in the top bar I see 3G and 4G.
So I thought that I would return to the stock ROM to see if the problem would disappear. Unfortunately, even after returning to the stock ROM, the problem still exists. Anybody knows what's going on?
@kaplaey2 WOW it's work! It actually helped me. At least for now - I hope it is not a coincidence. I would like to add that the manual installation of the latest version of "Google services" did not help. It really helped uninstalling the update from the application settings. After this, we will receive push notifications to install updates from the play store.
My app was not working
