Weird issue after restoring apps with TiBU

Basically I have backups for about 130 different apps, games, etc. After I setup my ROM (Mahdi latest update) I used titanium backup pro to batch restore the apps. Just the apps, no data. So I was trying out xposed framework and saw instagram downloader. I thought it sounded cool so I set it up and installed it. I tried testing it by logging into instagram and trying to save a photo. Instagram crashed (fc) right off the bat. So I went back to the module page and saw the latest update was to make it compatible with instagram v5.1.4. So I went to play store and saw the version of the latest instagram version... 5.1.4. Here's the weird part. It only had 2 options. Open and uninstall, which led me to believe it was up to date. So I went to settings/apps/ instagram and I was running version 5.0.8. Back to play store and still no option to update. I had to uninstall it and install it back again to get the correct version.
Just wondering if this has happened to anyone else? Currently going through all of my user applications and manually matching the app info version with play store version to see if any more are facing the same issue. This is my first issue using titanium on the phone so far (that I know about)

Similar to this today?

I'd say not really. That seems to be a sync issue. Just didn't recognize the purchase on the phone. Thanks for your reply, but I'll try to explain a little better.
Normally when you have an outdated app installed that is on the play store, if you visit that apps page on the play store you will (normally) see 2 options. Update or uninstall if I'm not mistaken. Or open and update. One of the 2. My issue is that after restoring instagram from titanium backup, the play store saw it as up to date. There was no option anywhere in the play store to update the application which was on 5.0.8. Correct version being 5.1.4. So because it saw it as updated for whatever reason I couldn't update it to correct version. I had to uninstall it and install it again to get the correct version.
So essentially;
Check instagram on play store to see if update is available for it. Says there is none and that all of my apps are up to date. Go to app settings and see instagram isn't really up to date. Go back to play store to confirm there is no update. There is no option to do so (play store thinks app is fully updated). Must uninstall it and when I install again it is up to date.
So naturally if it didn't recognize an update for one of my apps I'm assuming there's more. I always leave auto sync on, but I'll see if there was a sync error. I don't think that's it, however. Probably going to take this up in the tibu thread as well.

the play store doesnt see if you need updates right away, it can time time. when apps are released, one person can get/see an update a day or two after another, even though the app is updated for everyone. plus, if you just restored, the play store would have to sync first before you saw it as new.

The thing is the update(instagram) was released 9 days ago. I know updates take a few hours to push to the public after a developer releases it. I just tried to replicate it again by uninstalling it and restoring from titanium. Same issue. I'd had all my apps installed since the 13th. The day the latest mahdi update came out. It should have caught it in 6 days. :/
Still stumped.

Besides if that was the case that the update hadn't been pushed to the play store yet, it would still show 5. 0. 8. Not the new 5. 1. 4

If you read my OP that's exactly how I got it up to date....twice :facepalm:
I'm saying my issue is that the play store has recognized an application as up-to-date after being restored from tibu when it is indeed not up-to-date. Can't be because I didn't get the update pushed to play store yet, because the update is already on play store for me.
After trying a couple things it has become all too apparent that this is most likely an issue caused by titanium backup. I will continue to troubleshoot there from now on. Sorry,but I don't seem to be successfully getting my point across here. Thanks for all your replies, though.

na. i have memories of many times in the past 6 years when the version showing for me was the updated version, yet i was still on the older version, and didnt show me an update(especially with google app updates). at a later point that day i got the update. if you know that an app got an update, yet you didnt at that point, i bet itll still show you the version thats updated.

It's been at least 6 days since ROM install. 9 since instagram update. I wasn't on the latest version. There should have been an update button in the play store on instagrams page.
This is the first time ever seeing this since the Droid X, X2, stratosphere, toro galaxy nexus, n5... I never keep auto update on. Back in the X2 days an app got updated automatically and was no longer compatible with the phone. Just force closed. Couldn't roll back. Since then I always updated manually and kept an eye on app versions, etc. If I didn't pay attention to that stuff or try xposed I probably would have never noticed it.

right, but you also restored a backup. id think that would change things, until your phone resyncs everything, which isnt always right away also.

What exactly do you mean by syncing? In the last 6 days I've had quite a few play store notifications telling me there's updating to the following applications. I remember specifically, multirom, Google camera, ez weather, screen filter and ecodrive just off the top of my head. Instagram wasn't there. Yet I keep auto sync in and I checked after your first reply. There was no sync errors. Everything was checked off and refreshed within 40 minutes of checking. :/

So to confirm, you wiped data in play app? Do it again

Ironically, no and yes. I was messing around after I noticed that. I found an app called Recovery Tools on the play store. I figured I'd secure my data by flashing stock recovery and locking BL. Don't know why but I got the urge but I used to do it on my toro nexus. Anyways I made the mistake of locking my boot loader with boot unlocker and then flashed stock recovery. Phone went haywire. Tried a cache wipe from stock recovery but it did nothing. My phone booted, to my surprise but I was met with nonstop sysUI and gallery FC. I ended up having to scroll through my apps in between FC to open boot unlocker and unlock again. Then since I had no systemUI I had no home keys so i had to reboot again go back to the recovery tools app to flash my recovery backup I made before doing this. Long story short (too late) I had a bunch of stuff reset. Most of my system settings. Anything that had to do with systemUI. Even opened play store and was prompted to accept the terms of service again. Still showed no update for IG

I'm over it for now. Tonight I'll check my app info versions and match them with play store. Luckily xposed has a module to put a play store link in app info so it should be quicker!! Hahahaha
Anyways I'll bring it to the attention of the tibu dev in their thread if I find any more apps that aren't up to date on my phone, despite play store telling me they are

Does TB still have the break market link feature in settings? It's possible that got activated somehow. If it happens again go to menu. Then Market Docter. Market Update helper will also get you the update. Just some thoughts.

To band-aid this issue, go to Galaxy Apps - 3 Dots Menu - Settings - Disable "Show updates on notification panel", if that doesn't work then disable "Auto Update Apps" as well.
Hope this helps

You want to install the enhanced features apk not the contacts and ok
http://www.apkmirror.com/wp-content/themes/APKMirror/download.php?id=233358

the error was Samsung. there was no update. it was a false positive error on Samsung part. i called them.

So whatever the issue was, it resolved itself. However, because of this issue, I've noticed certain Samsung apps are not the most current although my device says it's "up to date" .
Example, I noticed my Samsung Contacts app says it's up to date running 3.1.08.15 . Now on Apkmirror it showed the latest as 3.1.15.1.
I flushed the Galaxy apps app, made no difference. What are u guys on the At&T variant running ? Wondering if it's just me .... thanks.

Apk mirror has the newest version always. Those updated are ones Samsung just hasn't pushed to your device yet. Most of them are perfectly safe for you to install

Samsung Enhanced Features update notification message
Here is the way I fixed this issue:
Why not do what I did, go into settings/system apps and find "enhanced features" and disable and stop it from running.
Before I done that I got a notification about updating the enhanced features every single time I rebooted the phone.
As soon as I disabled it and rebooted the phone I no longer have that popup notification in the notification screen
about "enhanced features".
Good luck, have a great day!

play store when screen is off

I have a problem with play store . When i start a download and screen goes off , the store doesn't finish the installation of the app until i turn on the screen. It go worse when i update or download a list of apps as i have to make sure screen is on all the time.
I checked the settings of wifi and battery optimisation and nothing looks wrong ( the play store app itself isn't in the list of protected and unprotected battery optimisation apps)
I did factory reset and nothing changed
Thx in advance

Had this problem since Gingerbread. You need to make sure Play Store isn't killed after screen off.

Go to Settings- battery-Close app after screen lock and untick the Google play store from the list.
Go to settings- APPs- setting-Speacial access- ignore optimzation-select all apps from drop down-google play store and click allow.
let me know if this works.

As you can see from the phoots, I don't have the same settings option as you said Shashank1320
(I am on marshmallow as I didn't receive update)
You can see also that Google play store dowlesnt have the option to be turned off or on when screen locks , but Google play books (also the usual other apps ) have this option

Your Play Store is way outdated. Try updating it to 8.0.22

I just bought the phone yesterday, tried to do system update but got ( no update available) and yes I did all available updates from play store

Sorry for being late but I wasn't able to test yesterday
Unfortunately that didn't help, after some time the play store app goes to sleep and I am unable to change that.
I wonder if this is a bug in software version or my phone is defected :crying:. If anyone still on marshmallow and can have a look for me will be great.

Suicide inducing Dialer App

Ahem...
Let me start by saying that this device is definitely up there with the finest when it comes to build quality. I mean, this thing is smooth, beautifully machined, great screen, great sound quality, ad nauseam etc etc...
But! The dialer app looks like it's rendered in Netscape Navigator (yeah, I'm old). Not only is it impractical as F**K but why does it not default to my Favorites like every single modern phone out there?
Why does it insist to always show the SIM slot number next to every single contact entry, even though I only have one of those creepy micro soul/wallet suckers?
Why is the incoming call such a nightmarish affair and don't even get me started on the ongoing call screen. Ho God, the buttons, where have they hidden all the buttons?? Ho the humanity (or lack thereof in this case)...
Honestly, this thing creeps me out! I've started to dread the time when I hear my ringtone and just start doing my little mantra: please let it go to voice mail, please please please... You get the idea.
I'm like a phreaking Freddy Kruger victim, can't fall asleep or IT will ring!!!
In short... And yes, I understand the thread could be a lot less tl;dr, has anyone tried to sideload the Google phone app?
Many thanks in advance.

Thanks for the recommendation but yeah, it's classified as "not compatible" with device.
I've tried/read about a bunch of others and most push data to their servers (contacts list, etc).
Been reading about past efforts on other HTC devices to use the Gdialer but it seems to crash, a lot.

To get the google dialer, your best bet is to use magisk and install the google framework to be able to install it off the playstore.
I've done it on my htc 10 and it seems to work perfectly fine (tried it with stock rom, "stock" rom, and with leedroid which has the option in aroma installer to use it from the getgo) I definitely won't change it back and will probably do the same thing once I get my u11+

i've installed several versions of the Google Dialer on my rooted U11+ and they all FC when i attempt to open the app. I installed the framework zip and included the Magisk module but no luck getting it to work. attached is a Logcat specific to the Google Phone app: not sure this is enough info or in the right format; however, i would appreciate an interpretation of the issue from someone more knowledgeable than me. thanks.

Judging only from past experience with another phone, you need to make sure to set the google dialer as the default dialer app in the settings, and of course also allow permissions for the app.

agreed. i should have mentioned that all permissions were set and the app was set as the default Phone app. no luck though, it still FCs when i launch the app (Google Phone). thanks for your reply.

Try this one of you have Google framework installed : https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-phone/google-phone-7-0-140861421-nonnexus-release/
Then, update it via play store. The only message I get is that my phone is incompatible when I start the app but it's working anyway.

thanks, but i tried that route already. version 7 works with an occassional freeze. updating to the the newest version via the Play Store works, but the newly installed (v15) Google Dialer app still FC's when i launch the dialer to make a call. one reason i need to use the Google Dialer is because press-and-hold the #1 on the htc dialer does not dial my voicemail. voicemail number is configured but it doesn't work with the htc phone app. works just fine with the Truecaller and Google Dialer. currently using a combination of Truecaller (using dialer to initate calls) and the Google Dialer app for in-call activity (set as default Phone app): i initiate a call via Truecaller and it connects using Google Dialer. Using SwiftBlack substratum theme for both apps.

Is there any way to install the Google Dialer app without root on a Dual SIM U11+ ?
I tried all the official versions 7.x-8.1 from APK Mirror and none of them could install, incompatibility error during install.
Is there any other possibility with G Dialer ?
OR an alternative dialer from Play Store ?

@Galactus thanks for replying. i believe i resolved my issue: it was a permissions issue that - for some reason - the request to approve did not appear when i installed version 15 (from apkmirror) on my device. i decided to factory reset my device add my google account (so i can use the nearby places feature), then install Google Dialer V15. i get the "This device is not supported ..." nag at first launch of the dialer, but that's ok. so far, all is working well and i'm good to go now. stopped working...ugh!

You can try other version here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-google-phone-v14-0-175904292-bubble-t3708218
Set up to be default app. It will work well. Sometimes it is stuck but not at all.
Use for 1 sim. Dual sim version in the future.

if you need stable, stay with HTC app.

Mate 30 Pro- Sideload GMS, now NO notifications

I've followed most of the recent videos for sideloading GMS into Mate 30 Pro.
What I've found is that after installing #7 in the guides, before the final #8, all notifications stop. No android notifications come up for anything, not even HMS based apps like Huawei's "EMAIL" app. Any hints into how to fix notifications and get them to come back?
Thank you!
Jonas

I found this tutorial : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=82436653&postcount=65
And everything is working so far, the only "bad" thing is that you can't use the play store, only Aurora store

Any downsides to using Aurora? Same Play Store selection?

In my experience there are any, the apps that Aurora Store shows are the same of the Play Store, from what I know is very secure to use it.

Hope it works, I'm using this method and it's like really having full gms in the phone.

You are a god among men. This is exactly what I was looking for and it's working perfectly!

Yes, but remember that all the apps that you download from the Aurora Store if you do not have the Google Services installed right most of them will not work well for you.

Yes of course, and the tutorial linked above says it. You have to have the GMS correctly installed without the annoying notifications to proceed.

Hmm
Funny you guys should say that. I had GMS installed correctly no popups, but notifications still showing up sporadically, if at all. I noticed I have no GMS ID but GMS is still frozen. Should that be the case? If I open play store while GMS is frozen, it gives that retry error. I assume something broke along the way...

Sooo, I decided to start over. Wiped data and cache for each Google App, then uninstalled them. Then, reset phone.
Following the Spanish instruction video listed here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=82436653&postcount=65
Get to the part where we restore the app (Blue G) and the app is saying it doesn't have internet. That's a first. Tried different restores of the G app, all saying it doesn't have internet - tried 2 different wifi which are working perfectly. Is the service that this G app connects to down? Could anyone else try? Here's a screenshot.

That same app was working yesterday...

I know what's happening, it isn't asking to be a device administrator...

Yep so bad news, and would really appreciate some insight. I've gone through the reset process and reattempts almost 10 times, but as of yesterday regardless of resets, I can no longer run the Chinese app with the G as it no longer prompts for administrative access, it just goes straight to "can't detect connection". I'm really at a loss.

If anyone has any ideas on how to get the app to "access the internet" again (as the message says in Chinese), I'd be willing to donate to their troubleshooting efforts. I don't want to send this back to get another phone just to fix this issue. It was working until just a day or so ago.
