Hello,
I'm facing a weird issue: since yesterday circa 5:30 p.m., some apps suddenly stopped working for no reason and just won't open or rapidly forceclose when I try to launch them: Gmail, Google, my bank app, Feedly, Amazon shopping, Steam, Xbox, Google Rewards, etc.
I first noticed that issue while I was running Android Auto and wanted to check my emails, the Gmail app force-closed without any message when I tried to open it.
On the Google app for instance, as soon as I try to type something in the upper-bar, BAM, force-close. And I get this weird message instead of my usual Discover feed at launch:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I also noticed that I can't open the Google settings: all I get is a white page, so I'm thinking it might be related to my account in some way... but some other Google apps, like Google Music or Maps, work just fine.
There's no common denominator between the apps that work and those that don't.
For those which don't work, I cleared the cache and even rest app data, uninstalled those I can and restored to stock the system apps, but no result, those specific apps just won't open.
I also tried wipe cache from the recovery.
For the record I'm running android 10 and even flashed a more recent OXM firmware (keeping HOME_CSC) to make sure it wasn't due to system file.
Do you have any guess??
Eventually decided to do a factory reset and everything works fine now

...Is no longer recognizing my old paid apps that I got on cm7. All that comes up is an error message and when I attempt to rebuy said apps, it says it had difficulty processing the transaction and I should log into Google wallet. What gives?

Rooting is not the problem. TP's are 'rooted' in webOS just by turning debugging on.
Try flashing the latest gapps for ics (031712) again, also flash the gapps fixer utility. Rohan's mod changes the build.prop file (among other things) so more games are playable. There still will be some that won't work, though.
Its not so much that the apps don't work, they just don't show up in my download tab in the play store, and I am unable to download them through the store itself. I tried both options you mentioned. No luck though :-(

Try this:
Reboot into CWM, clear cache and Dalvik Cache, then (at your discretion) install the newest daily and reinstall newest GApps. Then, when you reboot, before you open the Market, go to Settings => Apps => Google Play => Clear Cache, Clear Data, Force Close, and try again.
That should theoretically fix it.
In my settings under manage applications, I have 2 apps (wolfram alpha and blood brothers) that seem to have a slight... problem.

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
According to link2sd and launching blood brothers from a homescreen shortcut, those 2 apps are not installed. Yet, when I sideload blood brothers (not officially compatible with my phone but works nevertheless) it gives me the prompt saying this app will replace another app and all data will be saved. Then I hit install and it says "application not installed"
So I decided to open up settings and uninstall them from there, but it FCs every time I tap on either one of them.
Then, I went into /data/app, deleted both apks, went into /data/sdext2/data and deleted the data files for both of them. I also went into /data/data to delete all data. I also think there were apks in /data/sdext2 which I deleted. Anyhow, from screenie you can see both apps have 0.00 bytes of storage taken up, which I assume means I've cleared everything.
But they're still there, I want to use the apps and its annoying me to have those show up in settings.
So I went into TiBackup. They didn't show up. Like stated before, link2sd said nothing.
The Play Store says wolfram alpha is uninstalled, but here's the weird thing. I refunded the app (because it is not worth $3!) And it has this weird residue left over. Couldn't care less about it right now, but gimme blood brothers!
Any ideas as to what could have caused this?

Hey guys.
When I was exploring the Internet via chrome my phone has been infected. The new tab opened by itself, phone started to vibrate and page said that my phone is infected and that I should download Antivirus (but this page was similar to other pages with slogans "YOU WON 100K$ CLICK HERE etc.) so I ignored it. Now after every call (only then) Clean Master is saying that I already installed "Games " so I can delete apk file. Sometimes I press YES or sometimes I press No and sometimes it appear on desktop as game (last time it was yahoo logo) sometimes it doesn't. Clean Master Says That is malware with ".bf" extension. I tried every AV, even Avast didn't find anything. I tried also looking for this file by my self but no results (CM Antivirus also find nothing) . (gonna add name of virus for better tagging)
NAME OF VIRUS:
Android .Troj.tb_downloader.bf

I think that is ads... Btw to be safe you can always format your phone, be sure backup your data and contacts.. If you are rooted use adblocking software.. If not use browser which supports adblocking features..there are many in playstore

I had problem with accidentally updating my Oreo 8.1 SGS9+ to Pie while being modded with Swift Installer. It failed. So I had to flash stock Oreo rom with Odin to get it working. I did a factory reset to get it running because it couldn't optimize apps.
On clean Oreo I tried to restore my old progress by logging to my main Gmail. As it always worked on all my devices in the past. But FML now everything refuses to work.
When I tried to log at the welcome screen and restore data from the old device (same model same system) NOT create new it shows something like this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
which is not true, look at my drive -
I'm looking everywhere for a solution as I can't get past welcome screen and i won't create new (exactly same) device because I don't believe at all that Google won't overwrite the data I NEED.
Google support is also on top of **** - https://support.google.com/drive/answer/6305834?co=GENIE.Platform%3DAndroid&oco=1 by manage they understand DELETE.
What should I do. I even flashed lineageOS 15 as i thought its Samsung fault as its also based on oreo 8.1
Please help.
I have skipped the welcome screen to add account and see what will be restored. NOTHING no call logs, SMS, calendar, and of course no apps. Play store sees only 10 random apps when I can easily" count on my fingers" to 50
Google Play Store isn't showing all the apps that have updates available in the Manage Apps section. But if I open an app Page, then I see the app has an update, but it doesn't show up on the Updates section. Please note that some apps do show up there, but not all apps. I have no problems downloading the updates from either the Updates section or the app Page itself.
Some things to note:
1. I have multiple Google accounts in the system.
2. I have multiple users in the system. Some of the apps show updates available when I change user, and I don't see any reason why the update won't show up under all users.
I have tried clearing Google Play Store app data, uninstalled Google Play Store updates, reboot, etc. But that hasn't helped.
Any ideas?
Keep getting these blank pages:

The problem is not for just that app. That was only an example. The temporary solution is to force stop Google Play Store and delete its cache. Then everything works for sometime (or may be few days) before the problem reappears again.
Is no one else having this problem?
I'm having this problem on both my OnePlus and Samsung phones. It is worse in my Samsung phone.
Every few days, or sometimes even multiple times a day, i see this problem crop up. I then force stop Google Play Store and delete it's cache. It works fine for some time before having the problem again.
Any ideas?
Another bug: Pressing on update does nothing:
