Question Pixel Launcher broken after March update - Google Pixel 7 Pro

I updated to March firmware the same way I always do. After the phone restarted pixel launcher crashes when using the Google search bar at the bottom of main page. I can manually add the search bar widget on another page and it works. The most frustrating thing though is recent apps no longer functions when swiping up. I've reinstalled March firmware without wiping and it doesn't fix it. I've also cleared data from the pixel launcher to no avail. I am rooted stock and the same problem persists with all magisk modules deactivated and after reinstalling firmware before Magisk is installed. I'm hoping someone has an idea of how to fix this without wiping my phone and starting over. I've attached a short screen recording of the issue. Any help would be appreciated.

Latest Google Search/Now crashes v3.1.8

Hello
I'm having a problem, I just updates Google Search via the Play Store to the new version 3.1.8. But to my disappointment, it crashes, it crashes immediately I try to open it or when I try to open Voice Search. I tried Clearing all data and reinstalling the app, but it still crashes. Please help.
Thank you

Same here! Running XXCMC3 BY BaDaB!ng v6. I uninstalled the update and then GNow world's fine. But as soon as I reinstall the update and try to launch GNow, it force closes.

It's annoying. I thought I was the only one. I sent the crash report to Google. I hope they will respond with an update that fixes the problem, because I really wanna try the new features of Google Now.
Same here stock rooted.

Having same problem on stock device with no root.
Also noticed that Google+ doesn't work and crashes with the Google Search update. Removing the Google Search update fixes everything. Have submitted crash reports to Google for both defects.
Is there a way to only select the last update prior to Search v3.18 in the Play Store? Going back to the stock Google Search on the GN10.1 is a big step backwards.
Thanks.
apk is the only way

I think there's no option to rollback to prior updates. The only option is to go back to the stock version or Sideload the prior apk....

Understood.
As I've never done this for a Google app, could you tell me where I should search for the apk to sideload?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, having this same problem here... Google Now force closes / crashes on Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (Android 4.1.2).
For this, I hope Samsung gives my good old tablet a KIT KAT.
New update today, keep crashing at startup

I'm also getting force closes from the new Google Newsstand app too. I went back and side loaded an old version of the Magazines apk, but all this is making me wonder if something changed in the Play Services API and we didn't get updated. Someone above mentioned that G+ wasn't working. Mine is.
NOT WORKING & VERSION
Search 3.18
Newsstand 3.0
G+ and translate are working. The error on search is related to number conversion (its what the error report says).
Still broken with the Dec 3 update. Sigh.

I had the same problem - not rooted, stock Note 10.1. Run KIES and there is a new Note 10.1 firmware update that fixes this problem. After the update from Samsung, Google Search and Google Plus run normally - no more blank black screens.
Also - before I updated the firmware, I tried uninstalling all updates to Search without reinstalling updates and it worked. The Samsung firmware update fixes the problem and allows all Google updates to work.

Thanks for the workaround. I've never used KIES as I didn't want more software on my laptop. Is there another way to update this firmware without using KIES?
As of this week I've noticed that the recent update to Google+ & Google News also crashes.

[HELP] Error RPC:S-3

Hi there;
I reinstall the stock rom on my nexus 5. At the beginning all my apps get well installed. But I see that Zooper Pro Widget didn't install, I try to install it manually but I receive the message error RPC:S-3...
I found a thread on XDA a tried everything were mentioned there but nothing works .
The problem seems to be with Zooper cause I can install other application without problems.
Any idea ?
Did you install the latest stock image, 4.4.3? Maybe zopper isn't compatible with it yet

Got the same issue at the moment with an app (Scrum Poker).
I tried clearing stuff (google play and google play services - didn't touch the play framework data yet) but to no avail. The app is constantly nagging me about updates and I will probably end up uninstalling it.

It seems that's a a random issue. I was updating my apps when I only had this error with CM Browser.
This is happening to me too, I thought that it's because I rooted with towelroot.
I had to download the apk using apk downloader chrome extension and sideload it.
I could not update using play store. I uninstalled it tried to install it fresh but I still got the error. After I sideloaded it, I uninstalled it and tried to install it directly from Google play and it worked!
Edit: the apps that I could not update were gtasks and badland.

Did the same, and now I don't get the nag about the update. Guess there was something odd, since I had to "force" to download the latest, so maybe the error is actually on google's side and I have been resetting and reconfiguring stuff like a mad man for nothing
Exactly.I cleared data for Google play and Google play services, uninstalled updates for Google play, I even cleared data for Google framework but nothing helped. It could be a Google issue.

More tests:
I can install a new app or uninstall an app and then reinstall it without a problem.
It seems that only apps that have updates generate this error.
*EDIT* There's a new update for rayman fiesta run and the update worked so the problem could be fixed already
*EDIT2* I uninstalled Badland and it still gives the error when I try to install it fresh.

I'm assuming this is perhaps an issue on Google's end somehow. I've never had this error, as I've always been stock/rooted. However, I am now getting this error when trying to update the ESPN Sportscenter app. I figure I'll just wait to see if it resolves itself.

Yesterday I was finally able to install CM Browser. I didn't do anything to fix it.
In my case force downloading the latest version from play store (using the chrome extension on my desktop) did the trick. It seems that the version that google was serving me by default was 2.3 though it was notifying me that it had an update ready.
Guess it's some sort of caching issue, but for me it was annoying (was so close to reset the phone).

Just an update from my post above. I was getting the error all day yesterday trying to update the Sportscenter app. This morning, it updated fine. I didn't do anything at all. I guess a little patience does go a long way.

After OTA Update on Unlocked US Settings Crashes

After performing the new OTA update for the Unlocked US version my settings just crashes. I have re-enabled packages disabled. I was also hiding the status bar and navigation bar using adb commands but I reverted back but still no luck. It allows me to open settings but when I click on anything aside from device maintenance it crashes over and over. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

I have the unlocked US version S8+ G955U1EU1 and received the update yesterday (or day before) and installed it. Everything is running well, I have not noticed any abnormality. Not sure if it makes any difference, I have not used adb commands for anything.
I had the same issue,system ui crashed.I was using substratum,with a few other theming apps.I had to do a factory reset,everything is fine now.Although the changelog for the update mentioned theming background colors,I see no options for that.

Yup that was it. I had substratum installed and sfte rthe update things got screwy. I did a factory reset as well and everything is working fine now. Also for some reason I have even better battery life now which is strange but can't complain hahaha.

You can uninstall the overlays from substratum. Go to overlay list and select them all and uninstall them. Then you'll go through the process of uninstalling the overlay apps. Reboot. Worked for me and I didn't have to factory reset lol

Caution, Nov update causes SystemUI FC if you use Substratum.

So after that latest update, I kept getting systemui force closes's and I couldn't figure out why.. Well I narrowed it down to the Substratum themes I was using to modify the systemui.. I was only using the standard Samsung ones that we get to center the clock and change the icons to AOSP, but those were apparently enough to make it do that.. I tried multiple times to fix it but each time resulted in a hard reset and had to start from scratch..
Hopefully this saves some who haven't done the update yet..
Side note: I think it has something to do with Samsung Backup literally saving every little detail and modification we do within certain app's, and the security update didn't like something about that perhaps..
Same thing happened to me. Even after I uninstalled all the themes and substratum I still got the FC.

Cool. Thanks. So none of the substratum themes will work I assume.
You have to uninstall all of the Substratum theme stuff before you do the OTA. Says so in the thread and in the play store description. Just an FYI.

I'm running swift dark right now and it's fine but I was told by the developer not to theme the system ui because it could restart the FC's. Can you confirm if that's the case for you?

I never used the system UI technically that is not supported on any Samsung devices with out root. It worked before, but was never officially support.
My father just updated his S8 with substratum installed and now hes getting FC all the time. Is there a way of recovering for this without losing everything? Thanks.

Use adb to uninstall the Substratum overlay apks. I think the system ui overlay apk is the most important one to uninstall.
Then it should reboot fine
I dont have adb

You can set it up on a PC really easily.
You could try booting into "safe mode" and uninstall ingredients the overlay apks that way.
I meant on the phone, activated. I do have adb on my phone and my computer.
Safe mode didn't work eigther.
I ended up performing a factory reset.
Thanks anyway to all
This happened to me last week. I called AT&T and they ran through all their BS, they didn't have a clue what was causing it so they had me take my phone to a Samsung Experience Store AKA Best Buy. The tech there was useless I knew more about Samsung phones than he did so I ended up doing a factory reset. After getting my phone all set up and my apps downloaded I rebooted my phone and the same, thing so I called AT&T and they sent me a new phone priority which took 7 days ?. I got my new phone set it up download my apps did the update yesterday and boom same thing. My first mistake was not coming to this forum and not doing a search.
(This 'Should' be common knowledge when using substratum or any third party overlay that interacts with system files.)
But you should always uninstall any system overlay before performing a software update.
Otherwise you risk facing the SystemUI Force close issue.
If you are rooted you can recover via recovery (TWRP)
if you are not rooted the only way to recover without loosing your data is to try this:
How to recover?
You will have to boot up in Safe Mode (comes default on every device)
Reboot your device
Hold down the Volume Down key while booting up
You are now in Safe Mode
Go into Settings -> Apps, then find the overlay you think is messing up and uninstall!
How to recover if the above doesn't work? (Credits to Evozi)
You will have to boot up in Safe Mode (comes default on every device)
Turn on screen and press power button. It will show "Shutdown", "Restart", "Emergency Mode"
Turn on "Emergency Mode", keep spam the checkbox so you can tick the checkbox to proceed the agreement. (phone is super lagging)
While you are in emergency mode, you have very limited access. Open any system app and go to recent task list.
Long press the app task, press the info icon and app detail page will appear.
Hit the back button and it will show your whole app list.
Find your overlay and remove all its storage and phone permissions.
Deactivate Emergency Mode and now you are back to TouchWiz.
Uninstall the overlay app.

I was testing new and old system overlays when the Note 8 first came out to see what worked and what didn't, the ones that didnt gave me this problem.
You will most probably find the first one does not work and the second is a pain to get working, but personally i have had the Emergency mode method work for me after a few trys. I gave up at one point and started downloading firmware files to be honest but i gave it another shot while waiting and it worked.
Hope this helps - Hit thanks so this post gets shown to other users coming here looking for help

OB4 - com.android.phone keeps stopping?

Anyone else met with this issue with the latest beta? I keep getting this error, none of my SIMs work and trying to go into settings-SIM&Network crashes settings.
I used to have Google dialer framework (Magisk) and Google Phone installed, removed them but the problem persists... Cleared Phone's data, set the OP phone as default app, nothing works - I can't receive or make calls, and the OP dialer just gives me a black screen.
Any ideas?
Can I go back to OB3 without wiping everything?
[EDIT] ahhh local upgrade won't let me downgrade...

I'm on latest beta 4 using a IN2025 OP8Pro. I used the full ROM not the incremental update to upgrade from OB3. I am rooted also. No issues you are experiencing. Sounds like you need to flash the full ROM from fastboot mode and complete wipe for a clean install and start from there.
./
Thanks for the input. How big is the partial update? Because the one I flashed was almost 3GB...
So, no real way to downgrade to OB3 again?
3gb is full ROM not the incremental update.
So that's not the explanation then... I wonder if factory resetting will fix the problem?
Any ideas anyone?
