[Issue] Applications with OBB Files on Play Store can not be updated on some kernels - Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion

Steps to reproduce:
1. Make sure that your bootloader is unlocked.
2. Boot TWRP Recovery on Slot A.
3. Flash Magisk (optional).
4. Flash voidKernel.
5. Reboot system.
6. Update Play Store app that has obb file.
7. Notice that play store was stuck downloading the app.
To Confirm the issue:
1. Go to ES File Explorer application or any file managers you have.
2. Go to Android/obb folder
3. Delete any com.x.x. obb folder.
4. Notice that obb folder can not be deleted.
This issue does not occur when the custom kernel is flash to Slot B.
Tested on Stock Rom with April Security Patch (V.9.5.10.0.ODHMIFA_8.0).
Edit:
After a testing several custom kernels for stock rom, here are the results of my tests:
Issue occurs on the following kernels:
Extreme Kernel V2 Stable Stock (3.18.108)
MetaPhoenix v2 (3.18.102)
MiNTKernel 20180430 (3.18.107)
voidKernel r16 (3.18.108)
Moun Kernel v3.3 (3.18.108)
Issue does not occur on the following kernels
Franco Kernel r7 (3.18.107)
Issue was not tested on the following kernels:
ProjectK-r5 (3.18.107) - stock version not available
Nethunter Kernel

I opened this thread because it was a widescale problem that occurs on other kernels too.
Workaround for the issue: move the obb folder on the internal storage and then update again the app. Note that you cannot also delete the obb folder that you move to your internal storage.

You can delete everything you want with the twrpfilemanager. In twrp just mount the partition where you want to delete and use the twrpfilemanager for it. And you should discuss this in the void thread

Yes it is another workaround. It a widescale problem, it also occurs on other kernels that based on voidKernel. It also occurs on Mint, Extreme too.. That is the reason why open this thread instead posting to the main voidKernel thread.

OP updated with findings of the tests.

Does it happen with custom 8.1 ROM's or only stock?

Color os by Avenger 4 droid - problems I faced (jb out of box) and solutions

Hi everybody
Reason for post:
I recently flashed color os by Avenger4droid. Here is the link :
Disclaimer : I donot own the Rom or the patch on that page. Those are the property of Avenger4droid.
FYI, I'm on a jb out of the box device. I faced the following problems and found no solution for them on that thread and as I'm a junior member (Total noob really. I'm a medico, you see) I couldn't post there (XDA rules). So I decided to make a thread to help any unfortunate souls like me who've spent hours searching for solutions.
Now, I'll first describe what I did, the bugs I faced at each step and the solutions.
What I did:
1. wipe data, wipe dalvik cache, format system
2. install Rom zip.
3. Reboot ( Note: I didnot flash playstore patch provided by Avenger4droid sir)
What happened:
1. boots fine
2. play store problem. shows "no connection- retry"
3. camera - can't connect to camera
4. calculator fc
5. no google bookmarks sync
6. supersu problem. cant update binaries. so no root
What I tried:
1
1)Flashed bindass boost kernel v 2.7
It bootlooped
2
(now , there is a color os rom by [email protected] http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2779033
this is the thread link. He has a patch for jb out of the box.) All credits to [email protected] sir who developed the Rom and the patch in the above given link.
1)flashed ROM again (after wiping dat, dalvik and formatting system)
2) flashed the patch immediately after flashing the rom
result: camera opens, connects. But it Fcs
3
1) flashed ROM again (after wiping, formatting)
2) let it reboot
3) finished setup
4) rebooted to recovery'
5)flashed the above said patch
6) rebooted
Result: Camera works:victory:
4
1)downloaded latest super su zip from chainfire - I'm not sure I'm allowed to post the link
2) rebooted to recovery
3) flashed zip
4)rebooted
Result: super su works. Root access gained. Root problem solved!:victory:
5
for google play store
1) tried the patch in the original thread
result :didnot work. When I checked in Titanium backup, google services framework was missing.
This is what happened after I flashed the patch
I opened the google paystore apk.
It entered account setup, which I did
But once again, no connection.
6
1) So, I flashed everything again. Followed all my steps upto the fix for Root access
2) Rebooted recovery.once again flashed the pach provided by avenger4droid
3) Rebooted.
4) did not open playstore.
5) googled : google services framework apk
downloaded it from a 4 shared link. I'm not allowed to post external links. So, I'll tell you. It is the first search result when you google for "google services framework apk" It contains google services framework 2.21 apk
6) installed it.
7) opened play store
8)went through account set up steps
(9) important : Playstore opned. End user agreement popped up. This didnot happen last time
10) agreed. playstore works:victory:
7
for calculator fc, uninstall calculator using titanium backup
install any calculator app from now working play store
Done:victory:
Hope it helps
No disrespect intended to @Avenger4droid sir. Your patch did not work for me. That is all. Hope you are not offended.
Thanks

[Q] HTC explorer gapps are not getting flashed after increasing internal memory

Dear All,
I rooted my HTC pico (Explorer) and kept stock rom as it is.. I increased my internal mempry using procedure given in this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2421715
Now all google apps are disappeared from my mobile. I tried to flash gapps zip through custom recovery but after flashing also it did not reflected. I also tried to install .apk for playstore but is says playstore not installed and got closed.
Someone please help
Reflash stock ROM, install init.d support by installing Pimp My ROM app from playstore, partition your sd card (ignore this if already made partition), place 40int2ext (int2ext) script in system/etc/init.d and set permissions, done!
Here's tutorial for installing int2ext, but make sure that u have enabled init.d support from Pimp my ROM app

[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 ****.

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?

GApps for Galaxy S6 SM-G 9200

Has anyone had success in getting google play store / gapps running on the Chinese SM-G 9200 with Android 6.0.1?
Flashing gapps in TWRP fails due to insufficient available storage, all kind of installations i tried (rooted / unrooted) are just leading to crashing google services framework. I set the maximum permissions including change of system settings in the app config. No success.
Anyone had success? Or can extract the google packages from another S6 to test if i can install?
I had success but the path is everything else than straightforward and i would call it a dirty hack and i do not give any guarantee that this will work and not brick your phone.
1. Flash firmware CHC-G9200ZCU2DPL1-20170105164838 with Odin
2. Install TWRP (i used 3.0.0.0). This will result in boot-loop
3. Re-Flash the firmware above
4. Boot up the phone, should work now
5. Restart into TWRP, install SuperSU (i used 2.46)
6. Boot up the phone
7. Use Root Explorer to free up some system space to install gapps. (I deleted the Chinese apps in /system/preload which should give sufficient space but deleting might have side effects)
8. Download pico arm64 Android 6 gapps from opengapps
9. Boot into TWRP, install gapps
10. Boot up the phone. Play store should be there, you can open but i was not able to login
11. I downloaded the Google Installer_2.0.apk typically used for Xiaomi phones and run the app. It will update ServicesFramework, Install Loginmanager and fail with Playstoreservices, but this is fine. Probably it is just sufficient to install the Loginmanager, did not try that.
12. Re-boot the phone. Now It should work fine

Other than this everything works well.
