OTA After Downgrade Then Upgrade Again - Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there members of xda
A few months ago i updated to marshmallow on my moto g3 , and the experience was awful, not to mention the touch screen issues. I successfully downgraded to lollipop by skipping gpt.bin and bootloader.img, and i used lollipop for a while then got bored of it, so i tried to install cm13 official. When i did that , my phone gets google play store and google play services FC's on cm13. I have set google play services all permissions .. I have tried a wide variety of gapp packages and they all have the same problem. Google play store instantly crashes when i tap it, if that helps atall.
For now, i reflashed marshmallow stock. Should i be flashing cm13 from stock mm , or stock lp.. becuase i havent tried flashing using stock mm , becuase i didnt think it would make a difference as i always wipe the system partition before flashing cm anyway. :/
Many thanks,
therealduff1

Which gapps did you use? If you are having issues on cm try CrDroid or BrokenOS (go to their G+ community)
Btw, on the cm thread Alberto posted a fix for the touchscreen issues.

google play services causing problems on 4.4

I have tried cyanogen 11, and Lungo, and on both of those 4.4 ROMs I get an error after installing google play services. As soon as I install those, my keyboard reports an error, or my call app mallfunctions. Sometimes the whole rom crashes.
Could someone please pinpoint the problem for me, as I have tried latest TWRP and CWR recoveries to install the ROMs, cleaned every part of the phone before installing, and nothing seems to fix this problem.
ATTM, I'm on Lungo, and it worked perfectly till I updated google play with this crap.
Have you installed the current gapps for cm11? I think that could be the problem.
If the rom is 4.4.3 you need 4.4.3 gapps

[Android 5.0] Straight from source ROM

Hey guys,
So here is a straight from source build of Android L, 5.0. I have not done anything beside build it from source and flash it. I have not done extensive testing on it.
So anyways, here is the link:
http://d-h.st/zi0
I have not included gapps or anything else. They will be coming soon. This build is primarily to play around with. I would not consider this a daily driver.
Issues:
Probably a ton, seeing as I have only checked if it boots.
I am not responsible for any issues this may cause or anything else that may happen to your tablet as a result of this.
I also have a ton of schoolwork and other things that keep popping up, so my support may be iffy. Please bear with me or go back to 4.4.4.
Here is a screenshot for proof:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/lnmhdapeemskggi/1743495_10153594576754572_4551962379003400239_n.jpg?dl=0
Future Plans for this Rom:
GApps are not yet possible on Lollipop as far as I can work out, due to the fact that baksmali and smali do not appear to play nicely with ART odex files. I will be rebuild the rom to be odexed and then including a gapps package.

Hmm..let me know if you still have issues, because I was able to sideload on my device
Awesome!!
When first booted you need to erase it because it is encrypted. But after that it works (for now) like a charm. Wifi working, sound working.
The only problem so far is that after I installed the Play Store it didn't want to open but the Amazon app store works fine.

I am missing alot of the google stuff, which is probably why none of that works
That will come shortly, I just need to redo a lot of my vendor files and such to get gapps to be built in.
It worked even though it said no OS
first boot takes awhile but it works!
Confirmed it works.
Sideloading gapps for cyanogenmod 11 and hoping they auto update does not work. Worth a shot though. Time to reflash.
Woah, thanks a lot
Btw, how do I sideload gapps? (especially play store)
Since I think it won't be just installing apk, isn't it?
Working great! I think performance is even better than kitkat
Wi-Fi also working (maybe bluetooth, nfc and gps too)

Flashing GApps is the solution. Sadly, there isn't a package for Lollipop GApps yet.

I am currently working on the gapps, right now i have fixed my own build process and am getting a nexus 9 dump to try and fix it up.

Yay!
Works great, now waiting for gapps
thanks
Gapps mostly work fine if you edit updater.script
I've only had issue with the keyboard crashing so I'd suggest removing it from the gapps package before flashing.
Woah
I can't wait for the final version, this one, using 4.4.4 binaries, is crazy smooth. Google outdid theirselves on the optimization department.
Awesome work, think im gonna givebthis a try atbwork tomorrow.

So far, everything seems to be working. Have to check camera yet though.
I cant seem to get much else to go with it, but I will share my findings.
I can get TWRP to install,but then I get a bootloop.
If you use the Nexus Root Toolkit v 1.9.3 and "Root" with custom recovery checked. It freezes after trying to temporarily boot the modified boot image.
Hard reset the tablet and boot normally. The toolkit should reboot your tablet back into the bootloader and into TWRP, but this is only good for one boot.
If you mount /system and run a fix permissions, then it stays installed, but never gets past the boot screen.
It boots far enough to get into ADB.
Not sure what to try next though...
I was thinking if we could get a flashable zip without the stock recovery, then we may be able to keep TWRP, but I am not familiarwith building the flashable zips.
Wait, So how do you flash the google play services after you lose TWRP?! I don't understand..

unfortunately process.com.google.process.gapps has stopped

hi..
i hav this problem with my tab 2 p3100..and its bit annoying me for som time nw.
i was using the cyanogenMod (CM 12.1) by @Android-Andi ..the earlest build..bt due to some soft reboot problm i changed to official cyanogenmom 11 nighties. and its respective gapps..
aftr some days its started showing "unfortunately process.com.google.process.gapps has stopped" message continuously..it was annoying ..it also shows fc messages of most of the apps installed including trebuchet app.
so i thought its a rom issue or gapps issue..so chaged by rom to stable official jellybean cyanogenmod and its gapps..but agn i encounter similr annoying problem of "unfortunately process.com.google.process.gapps has stopped" message and other apps
atlast i chage bac to Android-Andi's cyanogenMod (CM 12.1) and lollipop Base Gapps package for 5.1.1 by Deltadroid..
bt i am stll having same problem..first i thought its a sofware problm ..nw am confused whtr its a hardware problm..
please help me
I had some of this trouble once, It was fixed by installing stock rom for a few days then returning to CM11, it seems something wrong with our eMMC, may be disabling on the kernel trim caused it, on stock trim is working, Anyway on returning to CM11 it's much slower than it used to be before, So I am now with Next Rom from ketut.kumajaya, A good smooth stock based rom and could be the smoothest among stock based roms.

Urw, If it doesn't get fixed for CM11, you may try Next rom, It's a non-laggy stock rom even in games it's as cm11.

ok...i wll try..bt crrnly i am running it on slimkat..and its wrks ok..so wll keep it runnig fr som days..
It will come back again after a few days. I haven't discovered any permanent fixes but resetting app preferences in app settings helps. If even Settings is also FCing then go to recovery do backup and restore. You don't need to have old backups, you can backup the broken ROM itself and restore it. That way you can restart and not face Settings FC. Then you can reset preferences and the problem will go away for sometime.
Issue might be lollipop or the recent stock gapps post-PA Gapps era. Stock gapps get very close to occupying system partition during installation itself. Try having a smaller Gapps and download any google app you require from playstore

How far can I upgrade my GT-N8013?

If the following table is correct then I have a GT-N8013. I'm running KitKat 4.4.2 on it: (N8010XXUDNE4_N8010BTUDNF1_BTU_N8013.tar.md5).
How close can one get to the latest version of Android and still have a working GT-N8013?
GT-N8000 - Wifi+3G+calling
GT-N8005 - Wifi+3G
GT-N8010 - Wifi (Except USA)
GT-N8013 - Wifi (Only USA)
GT-N8020 - Wifi+LTE

I've just picked up a used 10.1 (first edition) and am hoping to get it onto 5.1.1 or 6.01.
I see a custom CM ROM from Cyanogen, that states it's 6.0 official, but when I go to the site the release is really old for the 8013, and I'm not sure if it's been grouped in with the more recent beta group that is linked in the thread or if it's not.
I also see an older Cyanogen thread for 12, but that's pre 6.0 and appears to be somewhat abandoned.
My Note 3 is on phronesis 6.0.1, and I would like to get the Note 10.1 to as close to that as possible, without dealing with any major bugs.
Thank you for your assistance.
Some progress.
I managed to update mine to Marshmallow 6.0.1 (cm-13.0-20160523-UNOFFICIAL-n8013.zip) via CWM v6.0.3.6 but Google Apps keeps crashing.
I've tried both open_gapps-arm-6.0-nano-20160721.zip (Open GApps) and gapps-600-base-20151107-1-signed.zip. Both take hours to install and just keep crashing whenever you try to do anything.
Anyone have any luck getting cm-13.0-20160523-UNOFFICIAL-n8013.zip / and GApps.zip working?

I had it crashing initially too, with CM-13.
I reinstalled the ROM, root, twrp, everything. I also made sure to install the latest "Stock" Gapps, before rebooting once the ROM was in place. Since then I have not had any issues.
I did however have some issues using the nano package. Hope that helps.
Still no joy
I still can't get CM-13 to work. I use CWM. I made sure I was using the latest CWM 6.0.4.6.
I booted into CWM, factory reset and cleared cache. Flashed cm-13.0-20160523-UNOFFICIAL-n8013.zip.
I then factory reset and cleared cache again and flashed gapps-600-base-20151107-1-signed.zip.
I then factory reset and cleared cache again and rebooted.
No joy.
What actual gApps and CM-13 did you use? Maybe I need to use the same version of TWRP as you used?
I'm stumped.

I used the ARM 6.0 Stock version for CM 13. http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps#Downloads
I ended up swapping to the 2014 model because I got a good deal on a Verizon version (which is locked but oh well), so I don't recall the TWRP that I ran. It sounds like that sometimes gives people issues.
I do recall that using the nano version of gapps was not working for me. Could be a coincidence, but I had constant crashes when I tried using it.
This is the thread I used to grab the ROM and TWRP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-10-1/development/rom-lollipop-t3269375
It helps to read the installation notes properly
The problem(s) I was having were resolved by using twrp-2.8.7.0-gt-n8013 instead of N8013-CWM-Touch-6.04.6. I also used open_gapps-arm-6.0-stock-20160803 instead of nano but I really think it was TWRP that made everything work.
I'm now running cm-13.0-20160523-UNOFFICIAL-n8013 without any problems.
I consider this thread closed.

How did you get KitKat on n8013. It was never released and no one successfully flashed 4.4 n8010 to n8013. Odin keeps giving an error. Please I've been trying for years now since it's been 2 years since update was released and doesn't look like it'll ever release (**** yoi Samsung with your update **** and regions)
Anyone have any luck? I've had this tablet since 2013 and I stopped using it because it has always been such a laggy sluggish experience. I thought I would try putting an AOSP ROM on it to see if that helped. Everything is so old for this device that it's nearly impossible to find the old files, ROMs, recoverys, etc. I can't even get TWRP or CWM to work on it. Maybe it's not worth the trouble anymore.

Well official only kitkat if you are international (Samsung decided not to release a lot of device updates in the us for kit kat including the s3, galaxy light, and this one). However I think you can get CM 13.1, idk about anything more recent but there is a (slightly) active community for it still left. Its a shame that this flagship tablet was neglected. I hope it doesn't happen with future Samsung ones but I've avoided buying any. I still use mine on jellybean for basic internet browsing and games

Not sure if you're still looking but I just installed Android Nougat v7.1.2 using the instructions provided here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2185119
I have a N8010 that topped out at 4.1.2. I flashed to a N8013 kernel/rom about 2 years ago which maxed out at 4.2.2 . I just recently found that link to the LineageOS build (Formerly Cyanogenmod) when I was contemplating buying a new tablet. The tablet was getting a bit sluggish so I decided to go ahead and blast it out and see what happened. I was VERY pleasantly surprised! Had some issues getting the Recovery flashed but once I did, it was pretty smooth from there. I had backed up all the apps so once I got it booted and restored all the apps, I was surprised how responsive it is. Oh, and you can say goodbye to all those SD card issues that the Note 10.1 had since this version of Android integrates the external SD with the internal SD so everything gets installed on the external card. No need for apps like folder mount, etc.
I highly recommend it. The only issue is that you lose the integrated S-Pen functionality but you can reinstall some of those apps from the play store and bring back a lot of those features. Some 3rd party apps actually work better.
Good luck!
7.1.2 on GT-N80013
I am currently running an unoffical build I picked up here on xda it is an unofficial Lineage OS build. I haven't currently found any bugs... camera works, bluetooth works, wifi works... at least for me. The build number is 14.1-20170810-unnofficial-n8013

I'd appreciate a link to the rom you installed. Thx.
I'm interested as well I'm still running original os. Also wondering if the rom update works well on these tablets since they are older. As Android matures the os gets bigger which can impact performance on older CPUs.

I recently installed Lineage OS 14 and it is working great.
Tablet is stable, everything works, great battery life.
All devices work gps, etc...
The s-pen will not work like it did stock but there are apps you can get that seem to work better
Squid and Sketch for drawing....squid seems cool if you write with stylus
Install Magisk instead of supersu.
