Question Restore stock /system - Samsung Galaxy A12

I tried installing MicroG via a Magisk module, but that went South. So I reinstalled GSF and GMS then used Lucky Patcher to move them both to /system. I thought that all my issues had been resolved, but now I can't login to Play Store and my email clients, Proton Mail and K-9 Mail, keep crashing when I open any email.
Would it be possible to only restore certain parts to stock without wiping everything and maintaining root?

[Q] Hangouts = Google Play Service not supported on this device ?

My g/f phone is on the last version of Saba Prime v16. We did a force update to get Hangouts today and it worked fine..... until we rebooted it. Now Hangouts reports "Google Play Service,which some of your applications rely on,is not supprted by your device.Please contact the manufacturer".
Google Play Services and Hangouts were uninstalled, phone rebooted, then from play store they were installed again but the message persists.
I have a Desire S with Fallout rom, the same version of both apps and works fine even after multiple reboots....
Any ideas ?
I'm getting the same issue on a VZW Nexus. The weird thing is I have 2 Nexus LTE, one mine, one is my wife's. Both are running the exact same ROM/gapps/kernel/radio.... On one device the update to hangouts was flawless, on the other I get "device not compatible". Then a "play services" won't update error....
I've wiped the ROM clean install and tried to update before restoring other apps and still have issues.
Anybody have ideas to correct?
First idea is it sounds like it might be due to different versions of gapps before installing hangouts; I know that the gapps I flashed onto my phone got updated at some point afterwards, and now looks different to the package I downloaded and flashed originally.
Second idea, do your phones have the same CID? (i.e. same carrier, same sim-unlock state).

Okay I fixed on my end...
It seems as though it was on Google's server end, if that's possible.
The short answer for me was, wipe data > install ROM > install hangouts via apk (previously downloaded)> reboot > flash gapps > update Google now> update Google play services.... Viola. Seems like there should have been an easier fix.
Long Answer
I tried wiping data reinstalling ROM and gapps and that DID NOT work. I was getting the same error for Hangouts, Google Now, and Play Services and then some.... "Device not compatible"
I tried the exact same thing but logged into my Google account rather than my wife's and it worked just fine. No errors... Retried wiping ROM and flashing gapps, used her account, device not compatible again. That's why I'm guessing it was server side if that's possible. Even the web version of Play Store was saying device not compatible. CIDs were restored in each case and running same AOKP version and same Gapps.
That lead me to trying the install without Gapps... You only get so far before you must login to Google for obvious reasons, but for what ever reason, having the app installed on my phone before signing into gapps allowed for updating all of the other Play Services without issue.
It doesn't make sense to me but I'm up and running now...
My Solution
I'm a little late to the party, but this is the easiest post to find on Google for this problem. Mine worked after fresh ROM install, but it would start giving the error after a reboot. After much searching the thing that ultimately worked for me was to uninstall updates for the Play Store. I haven't uninstalled Play Services and after the Store auto updated, I could use Hangouts once again. I am using a HTC Desire with Cool Droid v3 GSM ROM.
I can confirm that steps suggested by MikeAce00 worked flawlessly.
This is what I did with a rom with gapps installed already
1. wipe & install rom -- do not input google credentials
2. install hangouts (google+ not necessary!) apk manually
3. input google credentials
4. update google play services (Hangouts even requested this...happened automatically after inputting the google credentials)
5. restart
6. done! -- hangouts should work
For me it did not seem to make any difference if you restart directly after installing hangouts apk or after inputting the google credentials

I've tried the methods proposed here, but no luck. At poinjt 4 I don't get a request for update, just the same old message about google play services not being supported.
I'm currently going through older versions of gapps and see if I get to a point where Google Play updates the right files in the right order.

Had to Factory Reset....Now Google Wallet won't install........

So I was working fine on Marshmallow MMB29K, rooted, with Xposed, and Franco Kernel r78. Google Wallet was installed and working fine. Just sent money with it yesterday. I kept getting messages my device was low on space which made no sense since I don't have many very large apps and not many pictures. I discovered my device was suffering from the Bug that Google still hasn't fixed where 32 GB devices only show 16 gb of storage. I had to reflash to the stock recovery over TWRP and then do a Factory reset on the device to get Android to see my other 16 GB of space. So since I had to do this anyway when I reflashed the stock recovery, I just went ahead flashed MMB29S build to have the latest security updates. Rebooted device, did a factory reset, and then verified all my space was showing up in the new MMB29S installation. Restored all my apps via the play store and restored backed up data for some of the apps from my Titanium Backup. Finally, go everything back in order with the exception of Google Wallet. I am now on MMB29S with SuperSU 2.66 flashed, Xposed and Franco kernel re-installed and working good. For whatever reason Google Wallet will not install on my device. It downloads fine from the Play Store but fails the install with error (-506), Google Wallet could not be installed.............and then displays a very unhelpful troubleshooting link. I have tried to download the latest Google Wallet apk, version 12 via apkmirror and manually install it, but that install fails saying my device doesn't have enough free space! WTH? I"m currently using only 9 of 26.x gb. I tried clearing data and cache for the Play Store app, but that didn't help. All other apps install just fine. I also tried uninstalling the Xposed Installer app and disable SuperSu via it's GUI. (I don't think this is the issue because the app should install fine, just might have issues working with root). I REALLY do not want to do a full unroot since I just got everything else working, as I don't think this is going to fix the installation issue I'm seeing. I can find no trace of error -506 via a google search. Any idea how to fix this and get Google Wallet to install on my device? I'm about ready to pull my hair out on this one.
In case anybody else runs into this issue, I was able to resolve it by using root explorer to browse to the data/data folder from root and located the folder for the Google Wallet app. After deleting that folder I was able to successfully re-install wallet from the play store. Must have been caused by a failed Titanium backup data restore or something.

[HELP] [root] s8+ exynos - google play services stopped working after data wipe.

Hi all, so bit of a background.
Got international g955f (s8+), I have it rooted with twrp + magisk. Everything was fine till last night phone stopped to remember wifi passwords. Tried DHCP folder removal and config file changing - that didnt work so did titanium backup of it all and wiped data this morning.
Phone started but as soon as I try to go through initial configs I get google services stopped working/keep crashing.
Pulled sim card out so I could get through to the main screen, tried to open play store and nope, won't let me - google play services has stopped.
Restored data through Titanium backup didnt help. Wiping data/cache of google apps didnt help. Downloading play store and google framework apk didn't help.
I've got full rom waiting to be flashed but I'm at work at the moment so can't do that yet. Is there anything else I can try and do to avoid re-flash?
I have removed system apps like chrome and gmail, nothing else.
Good thing - wifi is remembered now!
Any help/clue would much appreciate.
Thank you!

App install problem

I recently started using a G3 again and I have flashed different roms and had the same problem (currently on the latest pie Pixel Experience) . The problem I have is that some apps won't install (Snapchat, FB, IG) I've tried clearing caches, data, removing and readding my Google account with no luck. I've tried installing the apks but they either don't install or they do install but won't work either see the app as a package name or they disappear and then I'm unable to install or update the apps as it says another user has installed an incompatible version.
Is there anyway to fix this as I'm missing out on some apps I use frequently.
Thanks for your help.
I have the same problem on AOSP Extended 5.8 when i updated it, i no longer could install Instagram from Play Store, i dont use Fb or Snapchat so maybe i cant install these apps either.
I downloaded OGInsta + and use instagram that way. I suppose installing simple Instagram apk will do.

Galaxy S5 DUOS Android 6.0.1 Google Services Framework Stopping

Hello Everyone!
All of a sudden today my trusty old Galaxy S5 DUOS phone started throwing the Google Services Framework has stopped error.
I have tried all guides I've been able to find on this and it says to go in under the App settings and clear all the data, but when I try this it crashes.
I can't get into the Play Store to check for updates either.
Is there a way to fix this? Update framework and store by a TWRP flashable zip or something like that?
Any help that you can offer would be much appreciated!
I could try to backup everything and then flash with Lineage OS or something similar in the way of a more modern OS but I can't say I'm crazy about the idea. It would take a VERY long time to do so the best thing would be if one could "just" fix the problem at hand without needing a full reinstall.
The phone is rooted with SuperSU and has TWRP recovery installed on it.

Did you use root permissions to remove or disable any system apps? If so, you may have disabled/uninstalled a system app that relies on Google Services to work, this would cause the "Services framework has stopped" error. Re-enabling or reinstalling the app or apps would fix the issue.
But....
First, try booting into TWRP then select the "Wipe" option, then select "advanced wipe", then select ONLY the cache partition and the dalvik cache, then swipe the slider to initiate the wipe. When you reboot the device, try seeing if you can use Playstore to update your Google apps, you may have to update more than one of them.
If that doesn't work, you can try downloading the most up to date Gapps.zip for your specific architecture and flash it in TWRP, wipe cache partition and dalvik partition(DO NOT FACTORY RESET IN TWRP) after flashing the Gapps.zip then reboot into system.
If that doesn't work, you may have to flash your stock firmware, this will remove root and TWRP, you'd have to root the device again and install TWRP again. If you flash the firmware, make sure to use the HOME CSC to preserve your user data during the flash.

Thank you very much for the suggestion, but I tried all of it and it did nothing to help the situation. HOWEVER, I started looking at DeGoogling the phone and putting in MicroG instead, and one of the steps in the process was putting in Magisk (instead of SuperSu) ...
When I got to removing the Xposed Framework ... and rebooted the phone, it optimized all the apps on the phone, and then.... booted, no crashing Google Play Framework anymore, I could run Play Store and update my apps - everything....
SO.... Xposed Framework caused the Google Play Framework to crash constantly (all of a sudden)??

Thank you very much for the in-depth and very helpful instructions on how to get the phone working again, however as you can see in the reply further down I managed to get it back to working properly again by... as I understand it -- removing SuperSU and the Xposed Framework.
After I did this and rebooted the phone it started optimizing all the apps of the phone and then ... everything worked as normal again. But I have printed out the instructions/suggestions you gave me for future reference if I happen upon something similar. So once again Thank You very much!

You should be able to have root and Xposed and use the device without issues. There is a way to make it all work together, you just need to figure out exactly why the issue was occurring.
Everything seems to be rock solid right now after uninstalling Xposed Framework (same thing happening on my mom's Samsung Tab S which also had Xposed Framework installed)... I used it mainly to remove the ads on Youtube, and since Youtube Vanced came into existence.... I don't really need Xposed anymore. So all is good
