Downloads icon missing from apps drawer - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I'm running LineageOS 14.1-20170925-NIGHTLY-bacon on a OnePlus One with 3GB/64GB. I connected the OPO to my PC (running Windows 10) with a USB cable. By mistake I copied some picture and video files to the Download folder using the PTP transfer option.
Afterwards, I noticed that the Downloads icon/app (blue circle with white down arrow and line) disappeared from the app drawer.
I have tried several things, but I cannot get the downloads icon/app to reappear in the app drawer:
* deleted the files copied.
* rebooted the phone
* disabled and enabled Download Manager (60KB) v7.1.2 and Downloads (8 KB) v7.1.2
* Reinstalled the LineageOS 14.1 update (from the updater, which ran TWRP recovery)
In Settings/Apps, I can set the "show system apps" and see Download Manager v7.1.2 and Downloads v7.1.2. I can access the download folder (and the files inside that folder) through the "Files" app or with a file manager (like Total Commander or OI File Manager).
However, I did find the Downloads icon/app convenient and would like to bring it back. Any suggestions on how to fix restore the Downloads icon/app? Thanks for your help!

ooooooo ghosts ........... hahah

Factory reset.

Thanks for the responses. Being a newbie, I have a follow-up question.
To try if a factory reset fixes the problem, do I go to settings/backup & reset/factory data reset and select reset phone?
Or do I have to copy lineage and gapps to the phone with adb, wipe the phone with twrp, and then reinstall lineage and gapps with twrp?
Your help is much appreciated.

Hi, I did a factory data reset from within Lineage, but the Downloads app/icon did not reappear. Anything else to try? Would reinstalling Lineage and GApps from TWRP make the Downloads app/icon?

A clean flash definitely would.

I tried a clean flash of Lineage, but the Downloads app/icon is still missing.
The steps I followed were:
* Copied lineage-14.1-20171002 and gapps-7.1-nano-20171007 to the OPO
* Entered recovery mode (TWRP 3.1.1 was already installed); and wiped cache, system, data and dalvik
* Flashed lineage and wiped dalvik & cache
* Flashed gapps and wiped dalvik & cache
* Rebooted system
Unfortunately, the Downloads app/icon is still missing.
Did the Lineage nightlies recently remove the Download app?
Some Android OS's are removing the downloads app from the app drawer. For example, OxygenOS 4.5.11 removed the downloads app from the app drawer, and users now have to use the Files icon to access the downloads.
Did Lineage remove the Download app and leave just the Files app? I may just have to live without this Download icon. Maybe this is just the new world order?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Wait,I can't see it in RR(los based) ROM as well.Yeah,well,you can still have a go with aosp based ROMs,no need of following "new world order",when it comes to android.?

Hey dalbergia, did you ever solve this issue?
I'm experiencing the same problem on my Mi Mix running Lineage 14.1

Problems with gapps on CM13

Hi together,
after flashing the open gapps I got this:
"Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped"" application crashed message
I tried the full -> Error 70
only the nano could be flashed and after reboot I got the same error: "Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped"" application crashed message
I also tried to wipe ... no changes ..
what can I do to get gapps running on CM13?
Hi,
with the installation cm-13.0-20151128-NIGHTLY-hammerhead.zip I have the same problem... When the phone turns on I got the same error "Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped", You have two options REPORT ERROR and OK, if I press OK then immediately displays the same error msg. and you can not continue..
what is the solution?

This problem is about permissions.Go to settings , apps , show system apps , tap setup wizard and give all permissions to it.

thanks that solved the problem with the setup wizard ...
and now I can run playstore but can't download apps - I got the error: Error while fetching information from Server
solved! ... deleted google accound and remapped
Only the Setup wizard popup stops coming. Thanks for that.
There is a random popup about Google Play services which disappears on its own. I have given all permissions to the Google Play services app using the same steps as provided earlier. Still the same.
Please help.
Also in addition to this, there is a fix given by the OpenGAPPS team on GitHub as Notes for Android 6.0 (Sorry, cannot post link as this is my first post).
Can anyone help me patch this file onto my device (LG Nexus 5)?
Thanks in advance.
Maybe try different versions of gapps? I use the latest pico version and it works on the latest nightly.
I tried, micro, pico, stock.. All with same results. I was using nightly that came out on 12/02/2015.
Currently I reverted back to cm12.1 as I need to use the phone for day to day stuff. Please let me know if the latest nightly does actually fix this. And also which gapps, I will download the specified file and let you know by weekend.
Thanks for the help!
Try these gapps: http://opengapps.org
Yes I was using gapps from this site. I just need confirmation if the new cm13 nightly actually fixes the issue.
I guess it's not even with Cyanogen to fix the issue. The gapps when installed (flashed) , don't get the desired permissions to execute. It should be the a new gapps build released by opengapps. Still, I will keep searching.
PS: please look at the fix given by gapps team. I also don't know where to modify that code.
Here is how i got it to work.
1) Boot to recovery
2) Do a full wipe (Data,System,Cache,Dalvik)
3)Flash CM13
4)Do a wipe (Cache,Dalvik)
5)Flash GAPPS ( I used pico from Open Gapps)
6)Do a wipe (Cache,Dalvik)
7) Do a Factory Reset.
8) Reboot !
That should do it, Don't complain about useless wipes after trying for 2 days this finally worked !
I have my lovely G3 back
Good Luck !
I got it to work to flash it together with the ROM.
Cheers
I managed to make it work by installing CM13, in recovery mount /system and check how much space left on you system partition. After that you can choose the maximum size Gapps that fits the free space.
Wipe all excluding sdcard and USB-OTG. Install CM13 and Gapps together.
After reboot the wizard will not crash.
Other option is risky and can turn your phone into a break This is option is to resize /system to make it bigger.
I used the latest nightly CM13 for Xiaomi Mi4 and twrp-2.8.7.0-cancro
Solved

Thanks. This worked for me, although I had 2 Setup Wizard apps. The one with the CM logo had no permissions that needed assigning. The other one did. Once permissions were given, the issue went away. It was tricky to do it between the error dialogs appearing. What helped was switching to the guest account and back, then, occasionally, you had enough time to work the settings.
Had those Problems often, don't know why.
I just delete the settingwizard.apk in twrp (mount system, then system/priv-app if I remember).
Worked Several Times for me - you must do that always After flashing gapps!
My Fix....worked for me on HTC One M8
NOTE: Ensure you have a NANDROID backup BEFORE proceeding with the below, just in case something goes wrong
1. Ensure that you have all required files (CM13 Zip and Open GAPP Zip) saved to your phone (internal or SD card)
2. In my case, I used TWRP, so ensure you have the latest one
3. Boot into TWRP recovery
4. Using ‘WIPE’ option, select ‘Advance’ and choose: Data, Dalvik, Cache, System
5. Using ‘INSTALL’ option, Install CM13 via TWRP
6. DO NOT BOOT UP PHONE JUST YET
7. Perform a Cache and Dalvik wipe
8. Using ‘INSTALL’ option, Install GAPP Zip via TWRP (I used GAPP mini due to space)
9. Now you may reboot the phone.
The solved the ‘Setup not working’ issue for me and my phone is now working like a charm with CM13 and google apps! I have a HTC One M8 FYI
ThankYou So MUCH!

[ROM] CyanoBiz - CM-13.0 - Doze enable - n7100 / Galaxy Notes2

/!\Thread will be moved in Android dev section by moderator..../!\
Hi!
I share you my own build based on Ivan andI9300's works with my works.
This ROM will NOT work if:
[fix in next build] - you have partitonned your system (less of 1GB of free espace)
Code:
/*
* Your warranty is now void.
*
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
*/
What's news in this ROM:
-Full CM-13
-RIL code's based on I9300 Github
-Apps dex-preoptimization (speed up first boot)
-Brightness setup updated
-Swap activated (kernel)
-IO SHEDULERs added (kernel)
-DOZE Activated and working - (see screenshots)
-No bugs with auto rot.
-No bugs with camera
-No bug with BT (thanks P.A.N. from i9305 github)
I let you try it and report. This build will be updated every weeks.
How install it:
-Just install it over another CM13 Roms without wipe.
-You came from CM-12.1, you need to wipe all datas (system-data-cache-dalvik).
If you wipe all datas, after install GApp you may will have an error with AOSP Keyboard (crash):
How install GApps:
-Install the Rom, and directly after, install Aroma GApp
-Select all that you want WITH Google Keyboard. After have selected your apps, choose to delete KeyboardStock!!.
-Don't install Google Camera, it dooesn't worked!
-Install GApps, wipe cache and reboot
Or you can install the apk that i share, and deactivate Old Google keyboard
Then please DL Android keyboard apk, and save your current ROM before updated!
How DOZE works:
-download from xda doze setting editor or naptime from PlayStore
-Edit times to force Doze to be activated more fast (see my screenshots, i use this timers)
To try Doze you must let your phone, it will not work of you have your phone in a pocket on a car/train etc etc. If a sensors detect a movement, the phone becomes ACTIVE.
You can log Doze states by commands from adb:
Code:
Dumpsys battery unplug
Dumpsys deviceidle force
Dumpsys deviceidle step

No, just a different way to code. I haven't say nothing about mod/others.
I know that many users had pb with Ivan's build (auto rot./data etc...). If i can offer another way, it's a good thing.
For information, i had NEVER installed Ivan's build, only mine, i don't know if you will have sames pb.
My Rom works since 1 mounth on my phone.

Don't install Agni kernel, if the dev. doesn't have activated Swap, you may have a bootloop (fstab file error, partitions not mount).

Move your backup to internal storage and then restore. I didn't let titanium mess.with my sd card. Because many where reporting, loss of data and ****.
Hello! i follow your guide, but i have the same result :S Now i will do a list what i do when install the rom:
I use TWRP 3.0.0-0
1) Wipe all partitions (dalvik/art - cache - system - internal memory)
2) I install the rom zip.
3) I install Aroma Gapps directly and in custom setting i also install google keyboard and removing old aosp keyboard)
4) Finally i reboot, but only time system go in bootloop animation (i try it for 10 minutes)
i don' t use agni kernel
My rom base firmware is XXUFND3
Thanks for help me all
Wow, this ROM rocks, very stable, definitely a daily driver for me. Ok, this is what I did for install:
1) Use TWRP 3.0 to wipe the phone completely (internal storage included)... TWICE
2) Install the ROM via TWRP.
3) Install OpenGAPPS via AROMA installer, added the google keyboard inside the installation. - Make sure you select 'forceclean'
4) Boot, AOSP keyboard error, went into settings, and selected the google keyboard as default.
5) Flashed SuperSU zip file via TWRP
6) Installed BusyBox via Google Play
7) Flashed Xposed by romracer
8) Installed Xposed istaller
9) Installed 3C toolbox Pro from Google Pay
10) Proceed to delete the AOSP keybord and other useless items from system using 3C Toolbox Pro.
11) Installed SPenCommand.
12) Base system is now ready for loading everything else from the Play Store.
Only issue I have so far is that I cannot move programs into the system partition using either Titanium or 3C Toolbox. Other than that everything works fine.
One more thing, Google Camera works fine for me.

Hi,
Thanks to try the Rom and reports!
Have you tried to install gapps with the minimum? Just Android keyboard and force to uninstall stock keyboard?
Don't format external storage. It's not necessary.
FYI: i have begun to work on aosp...
Bizcuite
Hello everybody
Bizcuite yes i install minimum gapps + keyboard, play games and youtube. And yes i tick force uninstall.
No problem, i wait a future update of this rom :good:

Have you try to install only the Rom without gapp, to see if it boots correctly and after install gapps?
Bizcuite
Yes bizcuite i test it also without gapps, I don't know why it dosn't work just me xD
let's see if someone else has the same problem.
Install philz recovery mount all partitions and then wipe preload manually or just tap clean to install new rom. Then flash the rom.
No many reports or complaints from users.
Is it a good news? No download of the ROM or no bugs?

Weird App behaviour after upgrade to 11

Hello
Info:
Updated recently to 11 using full factory image with wipe (with - w flag).
Rooted with Magisk (canary update channel, see images)
Patched clean boot file and flashed with fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
All good.
Problem: trying to open a .docx file from storage with M$ Word. Screen goes black and phone restarts. On first restart I get the dreaded "cannot load android system - try again or factory reset. Luckily try again does boot my phone.
Attempted solution: remove and reinstall word - click uninstall -" the app wasn't found in the list of installed apps" - see image.
Went to play store to reinstall - only have "open" button - when clicked, screen goes black and back to "cannot load android system" screen ?
Any ideas/advice much appreciated
Many thanks
*Update*
Couldn't resolve via normal methods -
Used App Inspector (UBQSoft) from playstore to see if M$ Word showed up in there and it did:
From there, clicked the cog wheel to go through to "App Info" screen and was able to successfully uninstall from there.
Installed the Office full suite as a work around and am now able to open the document as needed.
Any thoughts or info still appreciate - especially if anyone has had a similar bug, even with different apps.
Many thanks ?
Further Update
So, I've gone back to the same document about an hour after being able to open it - same prob, screen goes black, phone restarts to "cannot load android system - try again or factory reset"
Tried open again from within Files,
got message "none of you apps can open this file"
I have office installed - see images.
I think I'm going to go back to Android 10 - this is quite the inconvenience for the time being
Not sure if it's 11, Magisk or kernel (using the latest EXKM)
but it's system UI that keeps crashing - I cleared out storage and cache as I am currently unable to uninstall Office, even via App Inspector.
*Solved*
Removed one of my Outlook/Micro$oft accounts to which Word and Office were both previously syncing - removed Office via playstore Uninstall button and rebooted phone.
Tested opening the same document both from Files, SolidExplorer and from within Word, opens for editing no probs and performs as expected.
Root and EXKM still installed and fine.
Sorry for multiple updates, just thought it might be useful for anyobe with similar issues.

No problem, same model, same Gallery version, but your rom is "old" lol, you are on 11.0.1.2, 11.0.2.3 and 11.0.3.4 are out
I advise to install the lastest !
Full ROM kB2003 : 11.0.3.4 - OnePlus8TOxygen_15.E.19_OTA_0190_all_2011010157
If you are NOT rooted, follow this steps :
- Put the rom zip on the root storage
- Settings > System > System Update > Click on the "Wheel" Menu on the front right > Local upgrade > choose rom zip
If you are rooted, follow this steps :
