OK so I got it working. As was previously said....I uninstalled play services completely using titanium backup. I then booted to recovery and flashed the TBO settings zip and it works. This is the only method that worked for me. So far its all good. Thanks TBO :)

all my gapps are ones from site non built into my rom which has been fine until all this kicked of with. 4.2 settings. I have deleted and flashed like stated but all I get is no settings showin up whatsoever or services error and not been able to log into my google account
[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
Not saying your not doing this but to Make sure it's not the case....have you tried switching gapps, downloading the zip again..and you are downloading the KitKat zip if on KitKat and the other if not? Also but in my instructions I never said to delete anything from system..the zip should do it on it's own..if not it's either the recovery..or the zip...Otherwise I have no idea bro.

You need to completely uninstall play services with TB or root explorer,TB is best. Also uninstall any other TBO apps/gapps. Once you have completely uninstalled then boot to recovery and flash the TBO zip and reinstall your TBO apps/gapps
[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
People please stop telling him to delete play services from system..it will on most cases cause a system crash and only restore fixes it!

That's why i made the zip script to delete it on flash.

Using titanium might not work for everyone.

If the zip isn't working that's the issue..

Not what he's doing!

My next question is after flashing the zip what's showing in system?

On non KitKat gsmcore.apk, on KitKat PrebuiltGSMCore.apk

And the permissions set -rw-r--r--

With all that in place it's not working then you have system corruption somewhere.

In most cases you need a full wipe and system format to clear it from your dalvik and data cache systems.

I had to do this on my nexus 5 when I was trying to theme play services. No matter what I did it wouldn't stick in system. Permissions set and everything. Restore was the only fix but it kept happening.

Full wipe and system format..No restore just started over and it worked perfectly!

Just a suggestion

dj, I just want to thank you for creating the fix in the OP. Working perfectly on BS 4.4.270 with PA mini modular gapps from January. And of course all the TBO goodness I can fit on my phone.

Looking forward to seeing the paid app back on the Play Store (even though mine is safely baked up in a few places including Android Tuner).

Hats off to everyone on the TBO team!
[Android Themes] darienms1986:
This is what happens when people don't have any clue about anything other than being told to flash things. People really should read up on their device, Android in general, and root. If you can soff you should have basic enough knowledge to understand what dafoxes and dj are saying. How people are so confused is just beyond me. Doing exactly what is stated in the OP works flawlessly. Thanks again for the continued work, support and patience for people who shouldn't be flashing stuff apparently :)

Yeah titanium is nothing but problems if the app is located in priv-app. Idk why the dev hasn't handled it yet, but it causes serious issues that are usually only fixed (like you said) by a clean install and using the script ( if you want the goods to work).

I've tried every way, and the BEST WAY to get it to consistently work is the ZIP FILE. All other issues are because directions were not followed correctly. I would know. I did it wring several times. These guys post instructions and make recommendations for a reason... They know what they're talking about.

Sorry for late reply had to go to hospital again last night nothing too serious luckily, I did a full rom . Settings was at 4.0. so I cleared it and non data flashed the stock KK that was suggested which I've download 3 times at 1st it was not showing up but when it did and I looked it said 4.3.24 I dont understand it at all. I've given up fully now .
[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
Still not the steps in the OP, doesn't say to clear anything on system...just flash the zip. I did a full wipe last night and flashed gapps and the stock settings back to back with the Rom without boot. The version was 4.2.43. I didn't delete anything. I tried to install the newest one and it failed so it worked.

If you delete it first and nothing crashed...it already updated on you. So that's why it failed.

Follow the steps exactly in the OP and it will work.

If it didn't you missed something and it updated on you again.

Once ours is in system it won't update.

Simple as that...people are making this way harder then it is.

Waay OT.....but the "hype" surrounding the "new" math strategies being taught is funny to me. If you're in a school every day and see how the teachers take math from concrete to pictorial, to abstract, you'd see that though it may look odd to someone on the outside (mainly hellfire and brimstone state legislators who only know how to "add" to their own bank accounts), but honestly it is amazing how much easier complex equations and algorithms become.

Yeah it looms different, and that's why it gets a bad rep.

I'm using it on slim right now, just delete email.apk on system/app and flash it in recovery. Wipe cache and dalvik cache before you boot.

When it's ready we will notify everyone.

Check the version numbers, the only one we are not updating yet is fb messenger. Some of those apps are getting new screenshots and descriptions updated and it triggers the updater. Just ignore them or just reinstall ours.

I disagree there, I don't think it's the same thing at all...

If I'm working and a guy asks me how it's going, I tell him as it's a polite inquiry as to if I've hit any problems or not.

If the same guy comes up and asks how long it's going to take then yes, that is rude.

I think this place is so wrapped up in the whole "no ETA" rule that you find people jump up to say it when the question hasn't even been asked!!

People can ask for an ETA all they want or request something all they want. We can choose to ignore it, answer it politely or answer it rudely... Its all in how we're wired for communication. I'm chill and laid back so I just brush over the stupid ETA questions but some people get tired of seeing those types of questions all over the place so they speak up. But with so many mods/ROMs/themes/apps/etc on this and other sites, it does get old seeing people deliberately asking for an ETA on something in threads...

I just want to end this right here please....I've answered you both and there isn't any need to go on about it anymore.

IMO asking about updates is like pushing for it to be done and makes the developer frustrated when we want to get updates done asap but also need time to reset our brains. It's not like it's being conceived as rude as to frustrating the developer. We have a list of members on our site but currently we only have three of us doing updates and new creations...lately only two of us have been doing updates because the others were creating the updater app. I don't need a response and want this to stop here with this topic. I will either ignore or ask not to ask for ETA's if and when people ask anyway.
