Do you have google services (gapps) installed? You can also install dialer, contacts, messenger and a lot of other apps that are independent from google, by "Simple Mobile Tools".

[Q] automatically installing apps after flashing

Everytime I install new ROM and sing in my gmail account, play store installs 4 apps that 3 of them i have never used.
Those apps are Facebook, BeejiveIM facebook chat, whatsapp and best wallpapers & backgrounds.
How I can stop it?
Sign into Google Play on a PC, go to My Android Apps & delete them ?

Unknown issue with Google Play services - Gmail 5.0

Hi all,
I have this weird issue with the new Gmail 5.0 (updated directly from Play Store) and it keeps brining this message up and FC: Unknown issue with Google Play services. All the other Google apps work perfectly fine, it's just the new Gmail and Inbox that don't work.
Deleting the GmsCore.apk and re-installing via Play Store is not an option as it wouldn't let me in the Store then. I am running LegacyXperia CM11 on my Xperia Ray. I should mention that I side-loaded an updated services apk from apkmirror.com, perhaps, someone can upload their Google Play services apk?
Help will be appreciated. :good:
Gee Mail
Just received the update and get the same issue. Now can't use GMail at all.
I have the same issue too.
But I was using the ART, and I can open the gmail app after switched back to dalvik VM.
I will stop using ART in (4.4)m which has many compatibility issue (even with google!) , fallback to dalvik VM and wait until Lollipop.

Do you suffer from space insufficiency?
Are you trying to cure that thing by moving applications that get updated from /data/app to /system/app?
If yes then this might be your problem. Here is what I had.
With latest Google play services update all Google apps (Maps, YouTube, Gmail and Inbox by gmail) were working fine.
Then I needed space so I took the updated Google services apk which took a lot of space in my data partition and moved it to my system partition where its predecessor used to be. I did it completely well using root explorer and checking all tricky parts. I should mention that I study computer engineering and I've been into android more than 5 years so I know my way around.
Immediately after the transfer:
YouTube didn't load anything.
Gmail showed me the same message as you.
Maps force closed.
Inbox by gmail showed me a message of "oops something went wrong please try again later".
It is now my understanding that Google play services has become a very sensitive application that sadly should not be messed with. Especially with a completely redesigned and revamped app such as gmail 5.0 or inbox by gmail. They are just not THAT compatible yet to be able to keep working together after they've been moved around inside partitions.
My suggestion find the latest .zip of "pa gapps" flash it, update the apps that need updating and leave them as they are. They should work like that.
That aint it either

I'm afraid not. This is just an standard install of stock rom no root and certainly not moving files in system areas. All that's happened is I allowed to install the Gmail update then EPIC FAIL.
I have Gmail 5.0 (1569867) and Google Play Services 6.1.88 (1557022-036)
Guys, any update on this? It's getting really annoying to constantly reflash my rom from time to time... Is it possible that Google failed this much?
remove and reinstall the Google play services solved problem.
I've the same issue here but in a very custom rom, thought was my fault
Gee Music
Now after receiving an update of Google Music I now get a permanent notification saying "Unknown issue with Google Play services. Requested by Google Play Music'
So folks what do we do? Uninstall updates? Disable? Will rolling back break the rest of Android?
We have lift off!
Well what do you know? Suddenly my Gmail & Google Play Music now works. Hang on I didn't get any update notifications on these two apps.
Wait a minute, my Google Play Services has been stealthily updated to 6.5.87 (1599771-036)
Thanks Google. Sneaky.
Had the same issue
I had the same issue this two days Gmail wasn't working at all and Hangout was working but for every action i was taking it was giving me the error Unknown issue with Google Play Services and i found out the in my case the problem was Link2SD so what i did was unlinking Google Play Store and Google Play Services than i uninstalled Google Play Services and installed it againn but didn't linked them and error was gone.
The conclusion on my case was linking the app to sd card was causing the error.
Thanks

In may case turns out that I had a version of "google play services" for Android 5.0+ instead of for Android 2.3+.
I did install "google play services" with "System app unistaller" and install the recommended version at gappsandroid.blogspot.com/2015/01/download-google-play-services-apks.html.
Note: In order to uninstall "google play services" "Adndroid devide manager" must be off in System -> Security -> Device administrators. Re-enabled it after install the correct "google play services" version.
Hope that helps

This is also just happened to me this morning. Suddenly my calendar and GMail stop working and prompting the error "Unknown error in Google Play Services".
I tried to remove and re-add the Google account but no success. Clearing cache and application data also no luck for me.
I tried to Google this case and one of the guy suggesting to do these following steps and it works for me:
1. Untick the Android Device Manager from Setting - Security - Device Administrator
2. Go to Setting - Apps then look for Google Play Services. Click on Uninstall updates.
3. Reboot the phone
4. Open HangOut and it will prompt to update Google Play Services.
5. Update the google play services.
6. Done.
Now everything is working again for me.
Maybe you guys can try it. Hopefully it will helps.

[Q] List of apps that can be safely Greenifyed

Hi there.
I can't find it anywhere and the official thread is closed (so strange that there is no official thread in the official Greenify sub forum...)
SO.....where can I look it?
No results in the Search.
Tnx.
I can figure it out yourself. Don't greenify system processes and keep important instant messaging applications running.

My biggest issues come from system apps, such as these:
- Google App
- Google Play services...
- Google Play services (com.google.office process.gapps)
- Google Play services
- Samsung Link Platform Connectivity
- Samsung Cloud Data Delay
- Samsung Push Service
- Backup
- Bluetooth
I have 3 different "Google Play services", Bluetooth even if bluetooth it's turned off, and the Samsung Link there Ida a mysterious for me as I don't have the Samsung Link app installed, and then about 200mb of Google App!!!
Other Samsung backup apps are there but dunno if they can be Greenifyed.
They are all system, and about apps, I don't have any that I can Greenify (I keep WhatsApp, Facebook, and a widget for the clock/weather, but they are so minimum in relation to those system up here!!!
Please help understand if I can Greenify those system apps listed up here, or art least some.
Tnx a lot.

You have some Samsung bloatware on your device, custom ROM would definitely help. Don't greenify Google services, stock Android doesn't run well without. I don't know what "Backup" and "Bluetooth" are in Greenify.
Try to keep all running unless you're willing to flash a ROM.
anyone know if is safe to greenify google photos ?

Yes,I use stock deodexed.
Backup has the Samsung backup icon, and Bluetooth I don't have any idea it's there as I have it turned off!!!
I would like to understand what it's safe to Greenify, and why can't I Greenify Google Play stuff, or if it's safe to Greenify the Samsung Link stuff as I don't even have the Samsung Link app installed
About apps, I have Google App that shows some time after using it and don't get out from the list automatically (so I imagine that Android doesn't close it) so it's shown as a Greenify-able app.
Also, if I Greenify an app like TapaTalk, will I restart from where I was in the forum browsing, or from beginning like if has been killed?

You have practically greenified every App and service on the phone. Do you use it only for making calls?
Calls, SMS, whatsapp, mail (inbox by GMail), Internet browsing (opera mini mainly), games, social (face, xda, etc), and other stuff. It's amazing that you can do almost anything you want with most of the system greenified. It seems that some apps are not so necessary after all... Which app of my list wouldn't you greenify and why? Bye!

Making Google's contacts app the default on S9+

Is there a way to do this? Google's contact app doesn't appear in the list for the default calling app. And what do I do in adb to uninstall the default contacts app?
I'm on an unrooted S9+, and have been using adb to remove a bunch of bloatware.
Are you talking about this app?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.contacts&hl=en_US
If so then it most likely will not show up as an option for the default calling app.. That's because it's not an actual calling app like Samsung contacts (which seems to bundle the dialer app in it). The Google Contacts app (linked above) is strictly a contact manager/sync app

Oh ok. So if I use adb to uninstall the default contacts app, will Google contacts and the phone app still work?

Considering it's not a bloatware item and it's integration with the existing dialer app I would just leave the contacts app alone. There is no harm in leaving it installed.
I would just install and use the Google Contact's app. If prompted by Google Contacts app to select a dialer app you can choose from what is displayed as options for use.

I tried the Google Installer of the Mi App Store but it did not work.
I encountered this error for most apps: Can't downgrade apps.
That is why I have listed the apps above so you know what to install and you are sure to get the latest versions for each.

anyone has else issue setting up card for instore payment with google pay?

To resolve this, you'll need to contact your bank. You can still pay with this card on Google and across other apps and sites, just like before.
i have no issue with setting up these cards on another phone though...

I had the problem too and I tried all your steps but none worked. I found a guide on google which actually works. It's here http://en.miui.com/thread-4843639-1-1.html
Basically it says to turn off the MIUI Optimization and get an app from the Play Store called "App Permission Info" to bring back the AOSP style permission UI and set the permission for Contact and ContactSync app from there since MIUI permission doesn't work well on this particular case.
Edit: I just found a way to access AOSP style permission without additional app on MIUI 10. Just search "optimization" in the settings and click on "Battery Optimization". You have to open it from the search list otherwise it won't open the AOSP style app info.
in my quest to install google play i did something wrong.
In notification i get a warning: "Update Google Play services - Google play services wont run unless you update..." but when i press on the notification, google play opens, with Play services and the only option is "Deactivate".
Can anyone point out a solution?
if we already get the google play store, does it mean we don't need to finish downloading the remain apps from google installer? i stuck at google play service. Pls to reply. thanks
