Fixed, basically did that in TWRP https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANIrs87Vb9Q

Its good you fixed however if you encounter the problem again, try wiping the cache and data for Google play store and services.

That did not work, I had tried it before doing the fixed method in my previous most and link.

Play Store doesn't load icons and images

Here's my problem, I've flashed the latest gapps on my m8 and everything works just fine, however, I noticed that play store are not showing images and icons for all the apps. It load just a few of them randomly. And screenshots NEVER loads.
I still can download and update things.
For reference, I checked the " Hosts " file and this came up on the top:

It happens both on WiFi and mobile data.
Already performed a "clear data" in both play store and Google play services, sign-out from my play store account, wipe dalvik/data via recovery. Etc.
Any help? Thanks in advance.

I'm using a rom based on the stock sense's lollipop
There's really any significant changes.
My model is the Chinese one (M8t) if that matters.
When I flashed the gapps using the original rom it didn't happened, however, it was the FULL gapps, containing a lot of bloat. This time around I used a minimal package, containing only the essential for play store to work (play services etc).
Thanks.

ok so there is two ways
1- the flashing process didn't go well
2-gapps problem
actually i use minimal gapps for android 5.1.1 and i don't have any problems
so you have the following to do :
1- re-flash the ROM and then reboot ..let your phone settle down..reboot to recovery wipe cache and dalvick cache then flash the minimal gapps
2-reflash the minimal gapps without the re-flashing the ROM ....(over-write the gapps again )
if both ways didn't work for you i recommend you change the GAPPS (maybe try delta gapps or get back to full )
good luck man

Thanks mate.
It's weird because I can't find Google+ through the play store , my Play games account doesn't connect.
My gapps package wasn't downloaded from xda, maybe that's the problem.
Could you link me to the one you're using?

5.0.2... And, nope, didn't work.
it still doesn't load icons an screenshots... I need serious help here. This is the only rom that works on my m8, since I don't have the RUU for it
Someone must have a solution for my issue. It should be something related to the "Hosts" file inside System>Etc.
Guys, don't let me in the dark.

Hmm. I al so get this problem but on 4.1.2 JB . There is way how to solve iy. Just go to setting. Go to wifi. Tap on your wifi and choose modify network. Tap advance optins. Choose static. And adjust your dns2 to 4.4.4.4 and the other one is 8.8.8.8 . Try to swap this two if this not working.

Google Play services not working

Hi guys,
I searched the forum and I found a thread with "Google Play Services Stops Working" with no fix for this problem and unfortunately this issue started affecting me when I completely wiped the phone with OS (accident) on it and started from scratch.
I tried latest version of play store, not so late, different installation methods and the result is still same. After awhile the google account is deleted and play services are not working.
I forgot to mention when the OS was restored and updated I had to manually install Play services.
It says not supported by my device. Is there any way how to get it permanently fixed again ?
Thanks in advance,
E.

How did you install GAPPS (Google Apps with all the needed services?

I downloaded latest play store .apk and installed it from there. I even tried different versions, different sources ...
It's working for few hours and then it stops working ( I click on play store and it's just about to open, few ms quick white flash and nothing happens) and I have to reinstall it and redo my accounts.

You have flashed all the services and apps google play store need?

Try flashing the latest opengapps package.
Use the following options to generate:
Platform: ARM64
Android: 5.1
Version: you choose

maybe try install gapps from HiAPP (market from huawei)

No need. I had the same issue; at some point my stock Play Market just vanished, ran into a bunch of other issues, but solved it by installing a full gapps package generated on opengapps (I use the pico version).

I installed gapps successfully :highfive:
There was some error with MD5 but at the end it was fine.
Let's wait and hope it did what it was supposed to do.
Thank you guys

Motorola Xoom 10.1" Wifi MZ604 Crashing with Gapps

Hi Guys
I have just installed 4.4.4 home made Wingray omni version 20141 130-1704-+0100
system boots up okay but I get, a constant Google Account Manager, and lots of Google error messages etc etc....
Is there any higher stable 5.x.x versions I can install that Gapps works without nagging messages every 10 secs or so ?
Thanks in advance

I also have the same problem with my Motorola Xoom MZ604, that did not happen before. I have installed all possible rooms, but the same message appears to me continuously and I have no way to solve it. Is there anyone who has the solution ?.
Thank you.

same problem here :S tested all the roms
stock 4.2.2 bigpart 4.4.4
everyone starts giving google processes erros :S
i thought it was just my problem could it be some google update ?
since doesnt happen if i dont choose to update the apps

It's the Google Play Services. Download the 10.0.84 version of the APK, install it and it should work fine.
Only problem is that I cannot stop it from updating to latest version. Some say that disableing auto updates in Play Store stops it from updating, for me it doesn't work.

hi guys, i tried to download new gapps from open gapps ARM>Android 4.4>any version and flash again through TWRP ROM and gapps but before that wipe system, cache, dalvik and data.
it also does nor work

Hey guys,
I'm in the same boat. I thought there must have been an issue with an update, I was on CyanogenMod KitKat so, after wiping caches/updates/data I decided to go for a Marshmallow ROM (LineageOS). Same issue, only now it causes the setup wizard to take forever as Google Play Services keeps crashing while checking connectivity. I then jumped to a Lollipop ROM and had the same issue.
So, 3 ROMS, 3 broken Google Play Services. Do you think there will be an update to Gapps which will correct this? Or will I have to find an older version of Gapps to get functionality back? I did try removing the updated before I wiped and started again to no avail but perhaps I missed an app?

Same here.
I read a few threads where some created files to stop GPS being updated and updating the correct Google play services APK but it still kept crashing.
If anyone finds a way please post up - the xoom was handed to our young bloke and he is missing it heaps.
If not - then time to bin a perfectly good tab and get a new one - as per googles plans

as far as I understand the problem... yes. But I am no dev so I couldn't say for 100% sure.
If you are going where I think you are - going back to the last of the stock rom versions, it might be a good idea.
I am going to try one or two more before doing that myself

this week my son lost his galaxy tab . so i ordered a new charger for my xoom this week and its stock we have not used it in over a year , and we have the same issue almost all apps crash .

Same issue with Xoom Stingray (4G) running stock Jelly Bean. Hadn't used it for over a year after Chrome stopped working in 2015 after some Google security update. Decided to get it out of storage to try to flash KitKat on it to see if that helped and after I updated the stock Jelly Bean, none of the Google apps worked any more - this includes Gmail, Hangouts, Drive, Maps, etc. Note that during the mass update, I kept getting a popup to update Google Play services. Once I updated Play services, that's when the Xoom started acting up. At this point I can get Pandora to run but the system is slower than hell and keeps crashing any of these Google apps when I go to start them. What a bummer, I have a few HD docks which sounded so good for playing my music. Plus I used it as my portable "beater" as I wasn't worried about it getting a little dirty. Drats on Google for killing my precious Xoom. I still marvel at it's capabilities 7 years after it was designed.

Motorola Xoom 10.1" Wifi MZ604 Crashing
Hi I had the very same problems with crashing, after putting on a later Jelly Bean, so I went back to a total stock ROM, as it had
when it left Motorola, then let it update its self back up to 4.1.2 is the latest you get from Google with all Apps working fine
this is what I did, you this link for a guide, http://*ndroidforums.com/threads/return-your-xoom-to-stock.653230/
apologies to Admin, if I have broken any forum rules ?

Solved
hi,
i have 2 motorola xoom, wingray and everest. 2 xoom didn't work at he same time.
i solved this problem for the moment.
The problem is in services of google, launcher, Maps 9.45 and play store.
You need a ROM with ROOT.
GAPPS "before 01/01/2017"
https://github.com/opengapps/arm/releases/download/20161230/open_gapps-arm-4.4-nano-20161230.zip
Titanium Backup and Maps APK.
I flashed EOS ROM and the OPENGAPPS NANO in the EVEREST.
Don't turn on wifi. After install, install titanium backup and go to > Menu > Market > Delete links market.
Menu > Market > Market Doctor.
Select all except:
Services of google play
Play Store
Google services framework
When finish, go to copy/Restore > select launcher3, push and separate from the market.
Install Maps 9.46.
Well done! Xoom runs with all services and ok!:laugh::laugh:

Dear sinver44:
What version of Titanium Backup are you using. My version 6.0.1-389 doesn't seem to have the same settings as you described. Thanks

Hi yoshkapundrick,
My version of titanium is 7.6!

It does not work for me
I cannot delete the three google applications with titanium, because I deselect them and when I go back to the menu they appear as selected again. What can I do?
Thank you.

able to get working
Even without root, if you unupdate hangouts & maps and then undo autoupdate in the google play store. Then everything seems to work fine.

"Device location for apps is turned off" message when I turn off location services

"Device location for apps is turned off" message when I turn off location services
"No location access, device location for all apps is turned off, and you may not be able to locate your device if its lost"

Hello,
The same for me... Is it a new problem, since it doesn't seem to have a lot of result when I google it ?
I just saw that, but I don't understand, they're talking about a beta program for google play store ?!
https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS6/comments/60loyq/no_location_access/
I never subscribed a beta program on the play store...
And what did you do to have this message ? It appeared without doing anything, or not ?
For me, I flashed my Galaxy S4 with a new ROM (AOSP 6), with open gapps pico from 1st april. I was on stock ROM before (Android 5).

When you tried with old gapps, you just flashed the gapps, or it was with a clean install of the rom ?
I noticed open gapps from 25 march until 02 aprilwere the same, but the 24/03 were differents in size.
I tried just flashing 24 but no difference...
And do you understand this story of beta ?

This is upsetting. People who want privacy are being nagged. I'm in the same boat as well. I like to keep location off except when I need it. Is there a xposed or magisk module that could be crafted to make this go away?

I asked for such a solution already as well: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/help/location-access-t3584764/page2
I google already for a couple of days. The issue is already reported in a couple android forums. But no solution so far....

Getting it as well on a older V10 running clean debloated 5.1.1 and my other V10 running 6.0.1 debloated fresh install.
My only guess is the new updated Google Play store is doing it (or other automagically updated google app)

1) Settings -> General -> Location -> Google Location History
2) You can turn this totally off, or you can selectively turn it off by device.
3) Reboot
4) Profit
If you lose your phone, Google won't be able to find it for you. But if you typically turn off GPS, this is probably assumed anyway.

Hello,
For me it has been like that for a long time, and it didn't work...
But since a few days, without changing anything, I can't see this popup anymore.
Perhaps a Google Play Services update ? Google realized the popup was a stupid idea... :silly:
