Received my Nexus 5 this morning and loving it so far; however, there is one annoying issue: It seem to insist on installing all apps I've ever installed across all android devices I've ever owned. Each time I delete an app that I no longer want, it then reinstalls it again.
Do I need to just wait till it installs everything, and then delete ones I don't want or is there a better way? I figured I could just delete from the my apps list in the play store, but I'm concerned I would lose paid apps that I want for a different device, but not this one.
I had the same problem. I stopped a few apps from being installed when it was restoring the device and it reinstalled them again. I just uninstalled them and it was fine.

Try uninstalling the app from the uninstall button in the play store

happened to me too, and i waited until they were all done installing to uninstall. i **think** it may have had something to do with a play store update, but i failed to check the version number of it early on to know if such an update even happened. I just waited a while, then rebooted, then uninstalled. it seems to have stopped.
Was there ever a solution found to this? Thinking it's a backup setting issue, and it's driving me nuts.
Bump.
Please. Help.
Has no one been able to fix it? It's driving me insane. Every time I flash a ROM the stupid play store brings back phantom apps that I've removed from "My Apps" several times. I do want the apps I actually use to automatically re-install, but for some reason, some apps that I've uninstalled and removed from "My Apps" keep reappearing somehow. I've searched everywhere for a solution to permanently removing them, but I can't find it. This was happening on my S3 and has continued to happen when I moved to the Nexus 5 as well.
Just stop auto download in Play and reinstall apps with Helium or TB. Untick restore apps after you types in tour Gmail user andere password when setting up the phone.

I'm more trying to fix the actual issue here, not just avoid it.
I called Google and the rep told me they do not have a known solution currently, but she will escalate it because she has actually had the same problem. They'll keep me updated, so if I get a solution, I'll be sure to post it.
how about re-install whole machine >"< root again...
Solved!
Was having the exact same problem, here's what I did on my Samsung Galaxy Note II N7100.
1. Reset the phone
2. Skip logging in with your Google Account
3. Settings>Accounts>Backup and Reset>Untick the Automatic Restore checkbox
4. Log in to the Google Account
5. Problem solved, no more automatic reinstalling apps.
Alternative - Resetting your backup account and unticking the automatic restore checkbox before you login to your Google Account should work similarly, but I haven't tried that.
I'm guessing it should work with all other devices too. Hope it helps a few friends

Incase you wondering how to reset the Google Account without resetting the phone or loosing your currently installed apps, its pretty simple.
Settings>Accounts>Google>Tap on your Google ID>Remove Account
Thats it! Hope it helped

Mine is sitting in Samsung bootloop. Installed full A06 and then flashed twrp and wiped system dalvic and cache and intalled rom . Am I missing something ?

Dumb question where do I get themes for this rom ?
No themes have been created for this rom. MOAR is a good rom with a few themes built for it though.
Wifi calling not working
wifi calling sometimes will connect, but if it doesn't connect, there is no way to get it to retry or have it even connect. it just doesn't work
Is that a question? Sometimes it never worked right on stock for me either.

Half the time your wifi calling fails is due to sprint bringing down the wifi calling servers... You should join the sprint forums also to keep an eye on the wifi calling server status.
If it's server related usually it reconnects on its own, but in the notifications panel there is a wifi calling icon you can toggle, or you can toggle wifi out-right to force a handshake...
Have been using since posted. yesterday system ui kept force closing with error message. Tried to factory reset and clean install. It worked briefly then same error message and instability. Had to go back to stock deodexed. I hate pop up messages but can't risk the same problem again with this Rom. Any ideas?
Not sure, I've flashed this version and 2 newer ones and I don't get any fc. I would need to see a logcat.
Cant flash 1.4.1
i try to flash 1.4.1 with twrp 2.8.6.0 and it says extracting files and then moves to installing busybox and all the other stuff and says finished, but when i reboot, i get stuck at the galaxy s5 splash screen and then it forces a reboot back into recovery. I have done clean installs and everything and it is not working.
Not sure man, you're the first one who's posted that issue

Not sure, I've seen this happen before but don't know why its doing it.
Maybe they need to format internal storage as part of the wipe to make sure they're really getting a true clean install?
It's possible. I've seen it before too, it happened when I did a dirty flash but a clean flash fixed it. Kinda weird.
You guys should try what tdunham suggested and backup your internal storage and wipe it as well.
Metal Butter!
Thanks for the groovy ROM * I tried TN's ROM, MOAR, and several others. This is looking like the one for me, finally! I greatly appreciate the time and effort you put into making this available for us all! BS/BD *
sms/mms timestamp/sequence issues?
This ROM is amazingly great, first and foremost! After running if for a day now, I'm noticing an issue with incoming text messages. I send a text (time stamp is proper), recipients reply (time stamps are off by an hour earlier). The incoming text messages appear before the original messages I've sent. This is happening with multiple contacts. I tried Handsent 3rd party SMS software, issue seemed to resolve, though I'm not a huge fan of their pop up ads. Also tried 8sms, the ordering issue reappeared. Each 3rd party app was set as the default accordingly. I tried going back the the original pre-loaded messaging application and still have the out of order issue with relies from contacts.
Is anyone else having this or a similar problem? Are there any known fixes besides installing 3rd party messaging apps from the play store?
I did restore messages from my previous ROM's backup, using Super Back up. There were a good # of texts too (over 1k). Those all restored no problem, but this issue of the new texts coming in before my most recently typed message seems odd.
Thanks for any feedback/suggestions/solutions that anyone has to offer!
Thank you! I have that issue with texts sometimes too. It really just started a few days ago. Seems network related.

I'm inclined to agree, I've started to see sent messages send then appear in the wrong order recently. You can also use Google stock messenger that has no pop ups

Problem with apps
After installing MetalRom, have been unable to install any apps from the Play Store. After rebooting, it will begin downloading the app but at either 90% or even 100% download, it will stop and not finish the download or install the app. After that, if I cancel the download, it won't even begin to download any apps after that. It just has that preparing to download. Has anyone else ran into this issue and figured out how to fix it?
Along with that, I was not receiving any text messages, even ones sent to myself

That's a strange one. Try clearing the cache for the playstore, and updating profile and prl. Clear cache for download manager as well.

Thanks for the quick reply. This does require gapps to be installed, correct? And I was able to receive a few text messages but I'm not sure what caused them to come through, but I lost the ability to send any. I did try updating the prl and profile but nothing was happening when I hit the buttons for updating them so I don't think that worked. I've been receiving error code 97 which is usually only a problem for people with Airave so I'm not sure what to make of that.
No, this is touchwiz based, gapps are not needed, and should not be used.
Got an unlocked pixel 2 xl from Google running on Sprint, for some reason nothing from the play store downloads. I've deleted the Google account, and signed in again, and with multiple accounts, cleared cache and data and rolled back updates for the play store, and I've switched data connections, different WiFi at different people's houses. I restart the phone randomly with apps pending download and out of nowhere one will download, then it stops and the rest are still pending. What the hell could this be?
Dude I have the same problem!
Clear cache and data didn't work. restarting the phone didn't work. Toggling wifi didn't work. Uninstall update from Play Store didn't work!
After doing all that **** it became even worse.
What a **** phone
I've had this issue with lots of phones/roms. I even contacted support about it when I got my Pixel 2.
Support was worthless.
My issue seemed to stem from my having multiple google accounts. When i factory reset I opted not to put in my password for my 2nd google account, then everything synced and downloaded fine. Once all that was done I manually added my 2nd google account and it worked as normal.
I'm having the same issue.
I've been trying to download a 16mb app for the last 4hrs. Just says downloading...
Pixel 2 XL. 8.1 Oreo. It's so frustrating. The only thing that has worked for me temporarily. Is a factory reset. N days after it's back to square one... I also tried google support. They just piss me off, they all just sound like broken records.
I don't have a clue what to do. N I'm not factory resetting again. They need to fix this.

I have a better solution now than factory reset. Just go into "settings"/"apps & notifications"/"show all apps"/ and then on the right side top "reset apps settings".
But it will only fix it for a while and then this ****ty bug comes back again. I don't know if it's only with Pixel 2 since this is my first android phone, but this isn't what I expected when I came from iphone to Android.

reset App preferences in settings. It's only a temporary solution because the bug will come back again somehow.
I had the same issue, and phone support told me to do a hard reset, shame as it was brand new out of box and a hard reset was needed
This is happening to me as well... I factory reset a few days ago, it was working fine. But now the problem came back again... However, at night when it was on standby, it seem to have updated the apps. But when I try to download anything manually, it will just be stuck on download. I don't wanna factory reset again... Hope there will be a solution soon...
Happening to me too now. Brand New Pixel 2. Any solutions out there?
I had this happen when I first tried setting up my new pixel 2. I restored from an online backup. None of my apps would download. They would just sit there in Pending forever and not download.
I reset the phone and this time, set up as new. Then I tried to download app. Still got stuck in pending.
So I reset AGAIN. And set up as new again, but this time I did the "Trick" to install all those google apps that they recommend (in the setup) and this seemed to work. I could now go into the play store and everything downloaded and I have had no problems since.
Having this issue on my pixel 2 xl. I'll restore a TWRP backup and that sometimes fixes it, but it always comes back. It's wasted so much of my time already. Never had the issue on Pixel XL with nougat. Is there any known fix? (I've tried everything in this thread, nothing worked).
It's not a phone issue, it's not technically a Play Store "issue" - there appears to be a limit to about 2 simultaneous downloads from the Play Store, so if 2 apps are updating and you try to install something, it will stay on "pending" until what you want gets to the head of the queue. (Try not updating for a few weeks, then turn updating on and watch the phone update for hours and hours.) Evidently, Google doesn't want us crashing their servers by trying to download 30 apps at once. I wonder why. (I know why, I was being facetious.) Just keep your eye on the charge (according to all I've been reading recently, 80% is about the most we should charge lithiums to for longest life) and plug the charger in if it gets much below 40%. (And unplug it if it gets to 81%.) Eventually everything will download. (If there's enough, you may want to turn the phone off and go to sleep and continue the next morning. But this is the way it's going to be until someone buys Google a few hundred more servers.)
Just thought I'd throw this out there. It took me about 4 days to figure out and resolve this and couldn't figure it out. Here's what I'm running
Phone: Pixel 2
Build number: OPM1.171019.019
Magisk: v16.0
TWRP: 3.2.1-0
Android Auto: 3.0.5705
Whenever I would open AA, AA worked fine with exception to the 'Microphone' option. I validated all permissions were properly set and that I allowed AA to use voice as well as enabling 'Ok Google' but it still continued to crash with the message "Voice Commands Aren't Working Yet" . I happened to be looking for crash logs and looked at the 'tombstone' files in '/data/tombstones/' and found the following line:
Code:
/dev/ashmem/dalvik-classes.dex extracted in memory from /data/app/com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox-myLQ80LPFOqvrolYhMKlDA==/base.apk (deleted)
I wiped Dalvik/ART Cache although I didn't think this would fix it... I don't know if this had to do with that crash since there wasn't a timestamp or reference to AA but thought it was peculiar. It looks like the 'google quicksearch box' is part of the 'Google' app in Google Play. I uninstalled the 'Google' app, then re-installed (updated) it. Then opened it and went through the 3 quick steps to set it up. After doing so, I opened AA and the issue was fixed...
I hope this helps someone.
Did the issue stay fixed for you? I did the same thing (uninstalled, then reinstalled Google app updates) but the issue returned within 20 mins or so. What's extra weird is that two of my devices (Pixel XL and Nexus 6P) with the same Google account are having the same problem in the last few days, but a friend's device (Pixel XL) doesn't when used with the same radio.
Well I just checked after reading your response and something reverted/no longer working. I know it did work for a while because I played with it and used Google Assistant in AA but now it's crashing again like you've said... I guess it's not worth keeping with this process for it to only work for a few minutes... I'll have to continue looking...
I've had the versions (that I put in my first post) working together for a few weeks (with exception to AA 3.0.5705) now but I swear this issue of AA not properly working has only recently cropped up this week in the 3.0 version -- which I think has only been out for a week.
I tried rolling back to AA 2.9.XXXX and it's still not properly working so I don't have a plan at this point.
I may be speaking too early @MaSt3rGrIfF01 but it's been working 5 hours and has survived several test shutdown/reboots without AA flaking. Here's what I did on this round:
-Uninstalled Android Auto
-Removed all Magisk Modules (only left Tethering Enabler)
-Android O APT-X Libraries
-Busybox
-RAM Management
-Sysconfig Patcher
-Systemless TZData -Rebooted Phone
-Went to 'Google' app settings, performing 'Clear All Data' and 'Clear Cache'
-Uninstalled 'Google' app
-Re-installed 'Google' app
-Configured 'Google' app
-Updated 'Google' app
-Sideloaded 'Android Auto' APK version 2.9.5749
-Rebooted Phone
.... Since then, I haven't experienced a crash
...and by 7PM last night, while not touching the phone at all since my last update here, I picked it up to check and it was busted again... Back at square one.
That's been my same experience so far; Erasing all data in the Google app will immediately resolve the issue, only for it to return soon after without me changing anything. Another thing I've noticed is that once the issue rerurns, I will periodically notice alerts saying the Google app has become unresponsive or suddenly closed.
I also tried wiping my Pixel XL and used a different Google account on it. I was unable to get the issue to reproduce on the same device when using this second Google Account. At this point, it seems like there's an issue somewhere in my Google Account, rather than in the device itself. So far I'm stumped, to say the least.
That's strange that a Google account would be the result of that behavior. Nonetheless, I will give that a try. I have two Google accounts tied to my phone so I removed one and re-did my previous steps. I will give it a few hours (hopefully days) before I confirm if this might be the solve.
One thing I noticed is that immediately after wiping my phone and updating the Google app, if I look in the settings for Google Assistant I'll see that it's missing options for music (and a few other things that I don't remember right now). I cannot get the issue to reproduce in this state. If I either erase the data in the Google app or use the phone normally for a period of time (between 6 to 30 or so hours), the missing options will return. As soon as those options are back, the issue starts back up. After that, if I wipe the Google app again, it will work normally immediately but the issue will return within 20 mins or so. This issue just keeps getting stranger.
How's everything going for you so far with the other Google account?
Well I had a primary Google account that I've been using for like 8 years. Then I have another which I made this year. I had both tied to my phone. However, I removed the newer one from my phone -- all traces of it gone -- then repeated the steps from earlier.
AA worked for almost the whole day without that crashing issue. Then I started having it's normal trouble. I'm in the same place you are. We can't be the only other people experiencing this... It does make me feel slightly better that it's happening to you on a different model phone which tells me this isn't just a Pixel 2 issue.
.... but yea, still not solved on my end...
Agreed, it's really strange that I can't find anyone else online complaining about the same issues. I'll keep in touch in case I find out anything else useful.

After reading through that thread, it looks like the way to resolve the issue is by installing a new version of the Google App (7.22.24.21). I've never been prompted to update to it, but you can find the APK online https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-search/google-search-7-22-24-release/. So far so good, I'll let you know if the issue returns.
Nice find! And agreed. I just updated Google app via the apk and the issue wasn't happening again. Didn't even have to uninstall/reinstall/clear cache
Hi friends,
MHA-L29 8.0.0.374(C185) (UAE OTA UPDATE)
IAM using above version firmware in my device. Unfortunately from yesterday onwards wifi stopped working. Sometimes wifi turns ON & automatically turns off. Sometimes while in this loop phone will automatically restarts (without any Huawei boot sound).
I've tried uninstalling Google play services & reinstalling. Tried wipe cache of Google play services & phones main cache.
Tried downloading stock firmware, but I didn't get original firmware from anywhere.
I don't know what to do next & I'm stuck. ... Any suggestions are most welcome.
Hate to say it, but if you don't find an answer and can't fix it , back up everything and do a factory reset...
I have a similar issue, when I try to turn the wifi on the slider instantly changes to the off position. I've tried uninstalling google play services, booting into safe mode, and a factory reset with no change.
I've tried updating through firmware finder but get an error at the installation stage saying it failed to check the update file. Not sure if it's relevant but I've tried booting into recovery and get an error message there too.

Back up whatsapp messages to your Google Drive.
As for the Wi-Fi issue, I'm afraid you'll have to send it in for repairs.
I face wifi issue recently. during some period of time, this phone unable to search for 2.4G wifi.
Do not have problem with 5G wifi.
Reset the modem, power cycle the modem does not help.
Want to back up my phone but now pc cannot detect it.
Anyone facing same problem with me?
WiFi circuits are sensitive to ambient moisture and to changes in temperature. My wife often cooks meals for the weekend. Even relatively small amounts of steam cause various WiFi devices in the house to go nuts. Actually, our mobiles seem relatively stable, but the two modem routers and the two tablets are affected. They usually come back after we dry the air.
So for you mobile, you can follow the classical advice: keep it "submerged" in a bowl of dry rice for a couple of hours.
