Nexus 5, 4.4.4, dalvik runtime. Currently on cyanogenmod 11, but this problem started prior.
I rooted my phone, initially to run xposed framework. I actually got it installed and opened, but I noticed I couldn't install any modules. Uninstalled, tried to reinstall, found I couldn't sideload any apks. Cancel button works fine, but install button does not respond to touch in any way.
Everything I have tried:
Rebooting
Unrooting/reflashing stock
Rerooting
Using various apk installers/file managers. They all still bring me to the install screen where I can't push install, so they're unless
Clearing caches (dalvik, package installer)
Making sure all screen filter apps are off
Making sure all security options are correct (do not verify app, allow unknown sources)
Flashing a new Rom entirely (cyanogenmod)
I'm at a loss. Are there any options left to try that may fix this?
First, root has nothing to do with your issues. When you say install button doesn't work, what install button are you taking about? And how are you trying to side load an apk? Are you using an app, recovery, or what?

Do you have echo lock screen notification installed?

Unfortunately I can't post an image of the install screen because I'm still a new poster. I usually just try to install apps by navigating to them in my file manager and clicking on them. Nothing special. The install screen is the default holo one that pops up.
Welp, turns out it was Echo Lockscreen. That's a massive bummer...loved that app! Thanks Pirateghost.
Hey,
I watched a youtube video yesterday when my OPO's screen completly freezed. The devices rebooted itself but after reboot the srceen freezed again (after 5 seconds) causing another reboot.
This keps going since then. so I can't use the device. A CM nightly from last week was installed on the device (the normal CM, not the S)
I tried to fix the issue with:
- Wipe Cahces
- Wipe System and Internal Storage
- Reinstallation of latest CM Nightly
- Wipe everything (including Data)
- Reinstallation of CM M9 Snapshot
I can enter Team Win without any issue.
Thanks for your help in advance.
try install the orginal firmware an see if that doesnt help
I had the same idea and followed this guide.
Now the phone reboots properly but a dialog pops up every second saying "Audio FX has stopped". When I close the dialog it pops up again a second later.
The issue seems to be well known but all solutions suggest to reflash the system and that's in fact what I just did...
Edit: I managed to diable the Audio FX app by tapping "ok" and what i want to do at the same time After a reboot the "Audio FX has stopped" dialogs are gone, but instead the same happens now with "CM Locksreen has stopped"...
Edit 2: Solved it by my self following this guide. Its very weired because I've did nothing that could lead to break the persist or reserve04...
I'm still running on the M9 snapshot, should I flash back to the original Firmware? I'm a little nervous about doing anything to the device again ...

OK glad my fix solved your issue. Go back to my thread and backup you efs for one. And copy your efs onto your PC or cloud for safety. I recommend philz for future reference. All users who had that issue were using twrp. Idk if that's the cause but its the only common theme so far
Hi there guys,
i have a big problem with my OPO.
First, i explain what i did: I'm using my OPO also in my car, so i set up a home launcher that's "car friendly" (big buttons, big clock, car logo, and so on). To activate this Launcher i use Tasker with root permissions. There's a Tasker-Task-Shortcut on my normal Homescreen, and when i press it, some things are switched off/on (for example GPS is switched on and the brightness is set to high). Also i switch the two Launcher (Default and Nova Launcher) by setting the Package State of the Default one to disabled and the Nova Launcher to enabled. If i want to go back to normal mode i press the Tasker-Task-Shortcut on Nova-Launcher which reverts all settings, including chaning the package states of the launchers again. This worked for years now, but today i activated the car mode and Tasker asked for root permissions. I thought SuperSu made an Update so i need to accept it again, so i gave Tasker root access. After that the Default Launcher was disabled, but the Nova-Launcher wasn't enabled. Then there was an empty screen, i only saw the top Notification Bar and the Soft Buttons (It was possible to use both), but no Launcher was loaded. So i restartet my OPO and now i'm stuck in a Bootloop...
Can someone help me please?? I think a factory reset will fix this, but i dont want to lose all of my apps and settings! What can i do? Is it possible to change the package state trough Fastboot, or through TWRP? Fastboot and the Stock Recovery is working fine, only if i want to start my OPO normally i get a bootloop... Maybe it's possible to install another Launcher via TWRP?
Please help me!!
Greetings,
infernalshade
Install another launcher via desktop play store then when click home button it ask for new launcher
You mean i going to play.google.com, search for another Launcher, press install, and select my OPO? If yes, that wont work, because i cant start my OPO (stuck in boot). So the OPO Play Store cant install that launcher. The only way i can think of is to install an alternate launcher through recovery.
EDIT:
Update, i used TWRP to clear the cache and dalvik_cache and now my phone is starting. Then after the "Configuring Apps" screen it's now stuck on "Starting Apps...".
Phew... fixed it myself... to anyone with the same Problem, here's what i did:
Search for a flashable zip of an alternate Home Launcher, for exmaple "APEX Launcher". Then go to fastboot mode and startup TWRP (i used OPO Toolkit). In TWRP, activate MTP and push the flashable zip to your phone. Then install it trough TWRP and clear cache and dalvik. After that restart your phone and the new Launcher should start. From now on you can switch to your default Launcher again.
Greetings
Hello Guys,
I come in need of a help,
I'm writing from my computer now,
Yesterday my phone was working fine,
Today morning, I updated the apps on my phone; amongst the updates was android system webview.
After a reboot, my phone is unresponsive, it won't open any of the apps from that point.
I reboot again, since keyboard doesn't work, I used the OTG cable to use the physical keyboard to enter the password and get in. Tried entering setting to uninstall that crap app, settings is unresponsive.
No SIM services, no keyboard, no fingerprint, no settings etc.. basically nothing works and everything says "unresponsive and asks to either wait or close".
The only thing I have now is TWRP Recovery, and I'm inside it now.
I've wiped Cache + Dalvik / ART Cache : Result still same, nothing works.
I mailed [email protected] (which is provided in the app's "Developer" section) about this and got a reply that the mail is no longer being monitored.
Can someone please let me know how I can remove android system webview by using TWRP ? So that I can enter the phone back again as normal..
Device Details:
Lenovo K8 Note
Android 7.1.1 Nougat, (Never updated the OS)
Device has been rooted and has recovery options.
I think you can find WebView module in Magisk respiratory so I suggest you give that a try. Flash it and I think it will be fine as long as you have Magisk installed, of course.

Thanks, I couldn't quite understand that..
I've never read/seen a need for Magisk so far.. so may I know what is the procedure to be done here...?
I do read Magisk is a systemless Root, (I already have SuperSu, is that the same functionality? (though I can't open anything that is))
Find the Magisk zip on Google and flash it over TWRP.
Head over to the Magisk module site and you will be able to find an alternate WebView module you can flash. It will be in zip format so I guess you will need USB to transfer those files to your phone since you cannot use it to download modules.

Give it a try and come to tell if you have sorted it out.
If not, you will probably need to flash your ROM again hoping the application won't stay updated but to back to stock version.

Oh, one more thing,
Does this procedure mean, I'll lose TWRP and SuperSu?
Can I not just downgrade the android system webview manually itself?

You won't lose TWRP but I am not sure about SuperSu since it's very old and people don't use it from the time Magisk appeared. I don't think you will be able to have both TWRP and SuperSu.
It would be good for you to just uninstall the updates of WebView if you can use your phone at all. That would solve the problem.
TWRP basically is a menu what allows you to select and apply ADB and/or Fastboot commands.
SuperSU is a Superuser access management tool: it requires SU binary got installed on Android.
Both mentioned sofwares are completely different things, don't depend on each other.
BTW:
I always root Android without the need to make use of Magisk or SuperSU.
So, I went through these

I got is, .. the adb and appt command says "not found". so.. confusion. and I also see that Bromite System Webview might or might not work on some apps..
So,
Is there a way to downgrade an app through recovery mode
or delete that app's data and start from scratch for that alone?
or is there a way to flash an old Android System Web View through TWRP?
Please help, I have spent the whole day trying to fix this.
I already have SuperSu and it seems if I need to goto Magisk (which is just for that other webview application, I have to do a lot of rolling back and applications going away, ) I don't want that..
Let's keep the Magisk idea as last resort and please let me know if there is any other way to delete the entire Android Webview related stuff and start from beginning.

Attached the attack of errors. (these are just few of the ANR popups, there are lots more.. at the last screen you can see even settings won't respond)
My recommendation: Reflash phone's Stock ROM to get rid off of all modifications you applied so far, then restart modding from the scratch.

Just because of one application?
I just want that android webview gone/replaced with a stable one, is that not possible without destroying everything?
Thanks everyone.
we have a solution,
In my case, uninstalling the Xposed framework fixed it for me..
So, while working on this issue I had made a flow map and a log of what is done and its results, may be someone else can benefit from it in the future..
Spoiler: Tries and results
Even starting the entering phone itself is a big issue, because the keyboard applications don't come up; fingerprint doesn't work on first boot as a security measure as well; connected physical keyboard to OTG to phone to enter password... then greeted with lots of errors of all the applications.

Posted to Google support, got crappy bot_ish answers; who even hires these people!
Posted to XDA, have some ideas worth trying
Unpacking the system web view.apk on computer gives crap details as it is almost completely encrypted.
Going rabbit hunting through the rabbit hole, checking each folders on "/"
found something similar /system/app/WebViewGoogle/WebViewGoogle.apk
Quick google search confirms that I’m on the right path to finding it...
May be data or XML is somewhere too?
Deleted(copied and deleted) /system/app/WebViewGoogle/WebViewGoogle.apk
Result, Same
Then Reverted
PS: Original Copy at ext_sdcard
Replaced the existing one (92.0.4515.115 with 90.0.4430.210)
Result, no changes.
Then reverted with the crappy original
May be adb will install properly?
Tried adb commands on phone on TWRP, doesn't work
Tried adb from computer to phone, unable to connect to phone.
Was doing it wrong, while in TWRP, I need to initiate "ADB Sideload" and then connect from PC (with Firewall allowed)
then "adb devices", shows connected device with serial number
after the above, the adb push keeps saying "error: connect failed: closed"
turning phone ON and connecting for additional settings (USB debugging) pops "mtp host failed" as soon as I wire..
Started the phone, switched over to Guest account, (oddly seems stuff there are kind of better with lesser error messages), tried launching playstore and wifi, both need password which I don't have, entering settings, hangs for a while, quickly go to apps and uninstall updates for android system web view.. web view becomes 0.0.1
results, fail
Created a temporary user account on phone whilst booting, (because of the observable lesser apps running if I switch over from main..)
added my gaccount on it,
launched playstore to update the android system web view..
the update is stuck at 60%~70 %each time and is unable to complete..
took the v90 application that is on pendrive, connected otg.. and started to install application manually from there..
it said, no space.. even though there is around 4 GB free... continued to disable other applications, such as chrome, youtube, drive etc..
still unable to install the v90 application
even installing other apps (sudoku example) have the same issue,
and then I see a popup that package manager has stopped working (aha! so that itself doesn't work, then can't install),
Went to see if I can change something on developer options, developer option wont come up even after 7+ taps.. hmm strange, may be only main account can have dev options.
While at it, swapped out the Gboard with older AOSP keyboard (retaining Fleksy though).
Rebooted and tried again.. no fix yet..
Atleast I don't have to switch to physical keyboard now for every reboot, since the inner older keyboard comes for first boot.
By TWRP, removed existing app and replaced with v87; doesn't seem to be any different, same errors...
Was about to install the Magisk but it seems to have lots and lots of catches to it, and things to-do before I can go to that...
Continuing investigation on how to downgrade and get back to older state
Through TWRP, deleted the app folder from /system/app/WebViewGoogle/WebViewGoogle.apk
researched to see if there is something else to delete, couldn't find much... proceeding from what we know...
Removed ATSystem.apk (3C's helper) from /system/priv-app just in cast (copy placed at ext_sdcard)
result no change..
Started at around 31-Jul-21 13:00 and went on till 01-Aug-21 01-26 pausing to for the day to rest...
Restored App Folder back to /system/app/WebViewGoogle/WebViewGoogle.apk
WebViewGoogle.apk is v90 again.. (the original seems to be missing, meh, not like it's going to fix)
reboot, result, no changes.
Starting step to install magisk
Removing xposed now..
wiped dalvik cache
rebooting
Kind of stable!!!
Everything seems to work?!?!
Firewalled all app except playstore and mail,
mail seems to work, but can't open the mails (just the headers are received), clicking on the mail says "unable to inflate webview"
aha, I forgot that I have v87 still, if I update that again, will it work (if it doesn't we know how to revert now)
proceeds to update v87 to latest
reboots,
I guess issue resolved by uninstalling xposed, next step to enter phone and move data to safe zone and think about next step.

Oh... sorry to hear that.
I don't know the solution to that, because mine is rooted I was able to get into the custom recovery and fix things.. not sure what can be done here for your case, (I do know that the old samsung's default recovery is kinda unreadable for English speakers)
So, I think it's best for you to start a new thread in the forum, because if you make a new thread there's a higher chance of reply than this thread which is already marked solved.

Hello Everyone!
All of a sudden today my trusty old Galaxy S5 DUOS phone started throwing the Google Services Framework has stopped error.
I have tried all guides I've been able to find on this and it says to go in under the App settings and clear all the data, but when I try this it crashes.
I can't get into the Play Store to check for updates either.
Is there a way to fix this? Update framework and store by a TWRP flashable zip or something like that?
Any help that you can offer would be much appreciated!
I could try to backup everything and then flash with Lineage OS or something similar in the way of a more modern OS but I can't say I'm crazy about the idea. It would take a VERY long time to do so the best thing would be if one could "just" fix the problem at hand without needing a full reinstall.
The phone is rooted with SuperSU and has TWRP recovery installed on it.

Did you use root permissions to remove or disable any system apps? If so, you may have disabled/uninstalled a system app that relies on Google Services to work, this would cause the "Services framework has stopped" error. Re-enabling or reinstalling the app or apps would fix the issue.
But....
First, try booting into TWRP then select the "Wipe" option, then select "advanced wipe", then select ONLY the cache partition and the dalvik cache, then swipe the slider to initiate the wipe. When you reboot the device, try seeing if you can use Playstore to update your Google apps, you may have to update more than one of them.
If that doesn't work, you can try downloading the most up to date Gapps.zip for your specific architecture and flash it in TWRP, wipe cache partition and dalvik partition(DO NOT FACTORY RESET IN TWRP) after flashing the Gapps.zip then reboot into system.
If that doesn't work, you may have to flash your stock firmware, this will remove root and TWRP, you'd have to root the device again and install TWRP again. If you flash the firmware, make sure to use the HOME CSC to preserve your user data during the flash.

Thank you very much for the suggestion, but I tried all of it and it did nothing to help the situation. HOWEVER, I started looking at DeGoogling the phone and putting in MicroG instead, and one of the steps in the process was putting in Magisk (instead of SuperSu) ...
When I got to removing the Xposed Framework ... and rebooted the phone, it optimized all the apps on the phone, and then.... booted, no crashing Google Play Framework anymore, I could run Play Store and update my apps - everything....
SO.... Xposed Framework caused the Google Play Framework to crash constantly (all of a sudden)??

Thank you very much for the in-depth and very helpful instructions on how to get the phone working again, however as you can see in the reply further down I managed to get it back to working properly again by... as I understand it -- removing SuperSU and the Xposed Framework.
After I did this and rebooted the phone it started optimizing all the apps of the phone and then ... everything worked as normal again. But I have printed out the instructions/suggestions you gave me for future reference if I happen upon something similar. So once again Thank You very much!

You should be able to have root and Xposed and use the device without issues. There is a way to make it all work together, you just need to figure out exactly why the issue was occurring.
Everything seems to be rock solid right now after uninstalling Xposed Framework (same thing happening on my mom's Samsung Tab S which also had Xposed Framework installed)... I used it mainly to remove the ads on Youtube, and since Youtube Vanced came into existence.... I don't really need Xposed anymore. So all is good
