[Q] Hangouts & YouTube Apps - Force Closing after updating

Something strange happened this morning with Hangouts, it updated to the new version that been pushing out over the last 24 hours.
When i went to load up the app i get a FC, and the same is happening with Youtube (not aware of that app updating though).
I have so far tried
1. Removing and re-installing both apps
2. Clearing the cache on the apps
3. Cleared the cache in recovery and also dalvik cache
4. Re-flashed the custom ROM (Mahdi Rom)
5. Re-flashed the gapps (PA micro version) i had installed
6. Re-installing an older version of both hangouts and youtube apk files
None of the above has fixed the problem. I guess wiping system and re-installing rom would fix the problem, but this is a last resort.
Before this hangouts app update everything was working fine.
Any other possibilities I can try?

weird i didn't have that problem, you can try searching for the apk file online and install it manually

Installed without issues here. Maybe try again?

I ran waze yesterday on stock lollipop

I tried 6 times. During the process, about 7seconds after"installing" it always get back this error No idea what to do

Try clearing data for play store app

I made another factory reset and left all settings by default(location, positioning, bug sharing etc... ) and didn't restore apps from backup. I have manually then started Waze installation in play store and all went okay...
problem is somewhere between backup restore or some settings on initial startup I have unticked on first and second time... If my memory is good, I have disabled google now and anonymous sharing of something...

tested again. It was definitely conflict with some app. I have restored factory again and untick Google Location service and anonymouse data reporting and installed Waze then. All good.
Definitely problem with some of my 64 installed apps.. let's see how it behaves now. Interesting thing is that I tried installation in Safe Mode and it didnt work. So conflict is not causing any running app but something installed before

I cant install Sygic after Waze installation. Seems it is this already reported bug https://code.google.com/p/android-developer-preview/issues/detail?id=1668
when will it be fixed? Any way to use both apps meanwhile??

Waze not launching properly/completely (no errs) on fresh factory flash. Worked fine on Preview.

Sygic/Waze permission
I'm facing the same problem. I have installed Sygic first and then Waze installation from Play Store failed with 505 error.
(Had a complete wipe of my Nexus 5 before A5.0 installation so nothing to uninstall left).
I have tried to force the install with adb install -r com.waze.apk but received the error, again:
pkg: /data/local/tmp/com.waze.apk
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_DUPLICATE_PERMISSION perm=pioneer.permission.appradio.ADVANCED_APPMODE pkg=com.sygic.aura_voucher]

Hi!
I'm also having problem installing Waze.
Did a factory reset and restored all the apps but Waze didn't install.
Now I can't install Waze from Plays Store, getting the "-505" error.
Hope Waze can fix this on their end, really don't want to reset the phone ones again....

I tried installing a previous version of waze (3.78), and I got the same error. I remember hearing something about the signature on the file being used by another app and thus causing a conflict. Has anyone found a reasonable workaround? Really would like to get waze up and running.

[Q] Lollipop (LRX210) - Cannot Install .apk from Storage. Any ideas?

***SOLVED***
I was using Lux Auto Brightness (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vito.lux&hl=en). This thread pointed me in the right direction (http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...nt-click-install-when-installing-sd-card.html) and I uninstalled the app and I could install apps from storage again.
***SOLVED***
I have encountered a problem with Lollipop - I cannot install backed up apps from storage. The install button is simply inactive.
So, I reinstalled 5.0 factory image and it seemed to fix the problem. BUT, now it doesn't work again.
Anybody got any ideas about what is going on here?
Thanks in advance:good:
Edit: could it have something to do with a locked bootloader? Didn't have that problem with kitkat

Wow, must just be me then...
Back to the drawing board...

Wow, same thing is happening to me too. Can't believe it's due to a brightness app, doesn't seem to be much of a link between the two.

Works with alternative screen filter enabled from advanced settings

Developer of Lux here. This is fixed in the update rolling out today.

Thank you
That trick worked - I emailed the Lux developer and there should be an update coming out today!
* update
If you simply force Lux to close, then you can install apps and then just open the app again.

App links to play store not working

Hello, I just got my device today.. set it up and disabled ads and everything but there is this issue where when I search something on the Google app and shows a play store suggestion, if I click that, the phone asks "Open with" but with no app options. This issue is not only for the Google app, but every other app as well. If any other app has a button that is supposed to open Play store, the same problem appears. I'll attach a link to the video to show a sample of the problem.
Google app- https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aZVQt9e-d60ZHlytZIxfNNkhd4e6AUm1/view?usp=drivesdk

Well it looks like you uninstalled something which was necessary for the system to function smoothly. More like a backend service. Flash MIUI again and only remove the app based services like Analytics, don't tamper with the system apps...

I do not have the device rooted but I did uninstall some apps which I could uninstall directly. So I tried installing the latest MIUI from updater but that didn't work for me. Do you mean to say I should factory reset the device and check? Because in too lazy to set up the device again?

No No don't factory reset, just do a dirty flash, i.e flash your current MIUI again through the MiFlash tool (Don't flash older versions nor you will end up with a bootloop), that should install the necessary apps again.

No actually its a bug in miui 10.3.12 which is already reported to xiaomi

Thanks for your suggestion. I took some time and performed a factory reset from recovery and after setting up the device, I looked if the issue was still there. Fortunately, it showed two options for me : "Complete action using : GetApps or Play Store." So I chose play Store as default now. To be honest, I still don't know what actually caused the problem. I hadn't uninstalled any system app nor the GetApps app. However the issue is now fixed for me. Thanks for your time and help.?

What really happened was, I had set Play Store as default over GetApps last time I reset it. So the links were automatically opening in play store. 2 days ago, I cleared the data of Play Store because I wanted the new material design of Play Store. Unfortunately, I did not get that and when I had cleared the data, as usual, the defaults I set for play store were cleared too. But if the defaults were cleared, it should have given me the options again. But it isn't.
EDIT: I found out that this bug is common for all Redmi Note 7 Pro devices running MIUI 10.3.12 Global. I tested one of my relative's N7P to see if the bug was there and it was! If you guys are not finding the bug, try clearing Play Store's app data and try again. I'm sure you guys will find the bug.

Android System WebView is disabled for me. The only WebView implementation I have is through Chrome. So maybe it was because of Google Chrome.

PLEASE HELP! I cannot install the first Google Play Services app downloaded from the link after I uninstalled existing Google Play Services app. Installation of Google Play Services always failed because (it says) my device has newer version even after I uninstalled it.
Now my device does not have Google Play Services but I can't install the version downloaded from the link.

My phone suddenly gave me tge play protect cerification error and could not access playstore, youtube, google maps, chrome,... Etc.
However, i tried the googlifier method and i have everything working fine yet the google play services is not updated and thus Android auto does not work and requires me to update Google play services and when i did i got the certification error again.
Any solution?

It worked, thank you very much.

Had to do it today too, but I skipped all the app activities, just uninstalled the Google Play services, and installed the older one, posted in this thread.
Worked like a charm.

I can open again Google apps without error messages, but Android Auto still does not work, because the fixed installed Google play services is an older version. Any solution for Android Auto?

I have tried a few options out there, however despite un-installing the GPS when I go to install the 1st pkg it returns with a message to say I already have a 'newer' version installed.
I have rebooted the phone to see if that would clear it however nothing.

Force stop GPS & clear Data before uninstall. Afterwards, install the GPS fix from the video link. It should work.

Yeah this is the same problem from years. Push notifications are broken with these kind of method.

Is this method working? I can't downgrade and I feel bad about my fiancée for recommending this camera phone to her. I would like to find a way to allow you to use at least contacts and mail. Can you help me?
