as im not in one of those YT Kids app supported regions, i installed the app with APK (from apkmirror.com) and enjoyed it for over a year already.. however, today suddenly i realised that the app icon disappeared in my launcher drawer.. it was there a few hours ago and in between the period i didnt reboot the phone, didnt install or update any app, didnt touch any files in my phone..
i checked "/data/app" directory, and there was the "com.google.android.apps.youtube.kids-1" directory with all files intact.. i tried to re-install the apk and it went without any problem.. and there was a new "/data/app/com.google.android.apps.youtube.kids-2" directory created with all files same as the previous installation.. but the app icon just did not appear in the drawer..
i tried to switch to the stock launcher, and the app icon was still missing..
now im out of ideas for what could go wrong.. any suggestion for me?
tia..
Same thing happend to me (Samsung Galaxy Tab A, Stock 7.0), nu luck with previous versions of Youtube Kids either..
Same here. Galaxy S8. What has happened? Maybe recent Google instant app has something to do with it ?
Hi, same issue here on a Lenovo tablet and Galaxy S7, both running android 7.x. App appears to be gone from the app list and only by installing an app uninstaller i am able to remove it. Same problem when trying to install older versions of the YT Kids. I can install but i can't run it or see it in the app list.
On an older device runing kitkat the icon is still there with no problems, so i would guess this may be a new feature on the google services or so. They may now be enforcing regional limitations. Any info on that?
Unfortunately same thing here. Samsung tab A 2016 !
Same hete, but went here https://kids.youtube.com
Clicked to get it then app store opened he app and was able to enable it

it still redirects to play store, and thus app availability is still subject to regions..
I can only confirm the problem ( Galaxy A5 2017 running Nougat)
Seems like a server side or Nougat upgrade issue.
I have exactly same symptoms. app icon is missing, side-loaded app installs but does not register properly so it does not appear in app list, and can be uninstalled only with third party app (e.g. ES File explorer)
Hope there will be a solution to run YT Kids once again in regions where it's not officially supported.
Hopefully someone can make a modded apk version without a region check.

i dont think the check is done in the app itself, probably its done in the framework..
cos i have not updated the app, and suddenly it went from working to disappearance, so i guess something in the underlying google framework changed..
Okay, so maybe someone knows a simular app. I didn't found one yet, after ours of searching and installing
---------- Post added at 08:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:30 AM ----------
I installed a lot of different versions of yt kids and sometimes he wil open after installation and after a few second he stopps working. But the icon never apears from two weeks ago. The disapearing happend on the same day by my phone, from my wifes phone and my mother in laws phone?
Yeah, sad Google starts to execute regional restrictions more strictly. :crying:
The latest version 2.28.14 have new logo but won't run although it installs almost fine except no icon.
Therefore you should use 3rd party app to uninstall defunct app (e.g. ES File Explorer).
It seems it's gone for good. Check thread below:

Yes. Downgrade your os to MM and down. And will work. On Nougat it's not working.

I have tested in on 3 devices and its working:
S3 mini - android 4.1 stock - YTKIDS working
Tab 3 8" - android 4.2 stock - YTKIDS working
P8 lite - android 6 stock - YTKIDS working
P9 lite 2017 - android 7 stock - YTKIDS not working
So... Must be something with the Nougat that blocks YouTube kids.

thx ic..
It is firmware related. I have TAB S2 for my daughter with Nougat and on previous version of firmware YK works OK - installed from APK mirror, but updated firmware (just new version - still Nougat 7.0) deletes icon from launcher
So, anyone found a solution to this, same here Samsung galaxy Tab A8 2017, and Note 8
it seems it is because of Android N

I can't get my S3 to pair with my Mi4c on MIUI. It pairs fine on CM14.1 or Resurrection Remix but every time I try to pair on MIUI 8 I get "Download failed. Try again." on Gear Manager instantly. I tried downloading the Gear S plugin & Samsung accessory apps which results in the Gear Manager app crashing when trying to Pair. Anyone got it working in MIUI? Thanks

Thank you very much for this! I tried to change the build.prop to the CM one but it caused my phone to crash and I had to restore a nandroid backup from TWRP to make it boot again. I then tried modifying the build.prop to think it was a Samsung device which made the Samsung Gear app get to the next step of the pairing process but then the app would crash.
I uninstalled the Xiaomi EU ROM I was using and replaced it with the official Global ROM and now everything works fine! I tried both the stable ROM and developer ROM from http://en.miui.com/download.html and both work nicely with the Gear!

Thankyou very much for trying this, but that the phone will crash, if you change the whole build.prop should be logical...
And your second experiment shows that it has the right influence with the change to Samsung parameters...
http://ausdroid.net/howto/use-samsung-gear-fit-rooted-android-device/
I guess, that there at least is one other parameter, which has to be changed and EU ROM for example could work as well

I think, it is not related with build. prob. I tested all parameter with working one no results. Official rom is working good, but unofficial one is not working. It can be, there is a missing some files in unofficial rom.

You are right! The build.prop is a dead end. I've just installed a stock ROM on my mobile phone, and guess what?! It works! This ROM is basically the same as the one I had installed before (it's based on the same stock ROM revision).
So maybe I can motivate the creator of the ROM to look for the differences.
Solved xiaomi miui and samsung gear manager issue.
I just got a new mix 2 and been confused of how gear manager doesnt work. Once u click on the app it just closed. Been searching for a week and thought i needed to wait for a global rom or something. At last i came across a solution that works for me. For everyone who are frustrated like me tey the following.
1. Click on the miui version 8 times to enable developer option. (if not sure how to do it, try to google it)
2. Atthe bottom, turn off miui optimization.
3. Restart a.d everything works now.
Hope that helps.
i have also uploaded a video and hope that helps.

You are a hero. This worked to solve the pairing issue with Miui 9 on the mix 2 also.
In the recent apps list, my browser goes missing. Sometimes, but rarely, it reappears.
The browser app is Boat Browser. I've tried both restart and reinstall.
Fir what I know it's the only app with this behaviour.
Chrome works ok, it shows up in the list.
I suspect one the many per-app permission Android 6.0 gives us, but haven't been able to fix it by changing them different ways.

Hi clsA, great to hear!
Do you mean you're on Android 7.0/Nougat?
This update has not been made available where I live (Sweden), if that's the solution you're suggesting.
Also, are you running Boat Browser as well?
Cheers
I'm just telling you it's fixed in Nougat. Yes I'm using Boat browser
Sent from my FRD-L04 using Tapatalk
OK, but Nougat is only in beta for Honor 8, and only in UK, so unfortunately this is no solution for me (OTA update scheduled for sometime February according to newssites).
When you say Nougat fixes the problem, did you have the problem yourself on Nougat? Or are you stating that the problem is non-present on Nougat?
Cheers!
Maybe the app isn't compatible with Marshmallow.
Hi DarkGuyver, that may be so - how do I check that?
(On Google Play the latest update says "Fix bug for Android 6.0 or above", so should be compatible AFA the company says).
Cheers!

Boat Browser not showing in MM Recents
I don't have Honor but I've had the same problem with Boat Browser disappearing from Recents in MM.... Solved by downgrading to 8.7.1 :cyclops:
THANX! Downgrading to 8.7.1 did it.
(Just make sure you uninstall BB before installing apk, otherwise it will not install).
I had a google cam app installed for the longest time that ran flawlessly, it was a joy to use. I deleted it to install an updated version and my decision has been the bane of my existence since. I've tried various nougat apks and most crash while a few will run but will not perform the blur effect as my original install had done.
Can you help? Thank you.

- Is this version work with exynos processor?
- do i need to enable this app using adb commend? And install any other app? Or just install this apk and set it as default, because it crashed on me.
Edit: it works fine now after setting it as default, and no need to do any thing, juat install the apk and set it as default. Done.

Clear cache and data of that app and set it as your default launcher. That should fix the problem.

Not much you can do with that. As per the gpl they have to release the kernel source. If you had root and recovery you could use it to build a custom kernel but since we don't it will be of no use. But Android 11 shouldn't be too much longer.
Just received Android 11 OTA update today for my LM-G900EM (Europe).
No issues so far, and good news: they finally fixed the VPN bug when switching to WiFi!
Received G900EM20b-EEA-XX update yesterday and lost mobile data connectivity. I thought maybe location (GPS) needs to be enabled for data to work in Android 11 but that's not the case.
BTW other changes: color of status icons and toggable icons changed, "emergency alerts" app was installed
EDIT: just needed to manually re-add APN entry for internet

Not much is different, emojis were changed in android 11 so that was quite noticeable and I used to use pixel launcher but now it doesn't work
So things I have noticed:
IoT integration in the Power menu to get the payment cards... doesnt work at all, not sure if its a geographic location lock or something (canada)
If I click open a notification from the lockscreen and unlock using fingerprint ... there is a janky finger print animation thing... which causes the fingerprint icon to keep displaying randomly on the screen :/
There seem to be 2 system emoji fonts installed... One LG and one is google cuz gboard shows the google version in messages app but otherwise the system shows the LG ones
Lockscreen for some reason only displays conversation notifications for me by default i have to swipe down which pulls down the notification tray to show all the "notification" section items
LG launcher STILL does not have auto sort by alphabetical order
Scrolling and general slugishness in the system that existed in android 10 is definitely gone
LG and their sad state of software ...
After update I feel like system is kinda unstable. I am constantly getting UI freezed. Except few changes in quick settings panel and chat bubbles, I do not see any changes and improvements.
I don't know if I'm imagining things but the fingerprint sensor seems to be a lot worse, the brightness has gone down and battery drains a lot faster, camera is a lot slower. I can't see anything that's been improved going to downgrade it back to the old version its unbearable.
Hi all, just received my Android 11 update on my Velvet LTE in Belgium.
Hello, is there a way to flash back from Android 11 to Android 10.
I have a LG Velvet 4G LM-G910EMW (Germany).
I would be very grateful for any links or tips.
Thank you very much.
Yeah, pretty sure you can downgrade to Android 10. You can use LGUP, just make sure you download android 10 KDZ from http://lg-roms.com/
