Ha ha, and they are all different sizes! <shoots self in head>

I don't have the one in system/app though
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] AvRS:
I'm on -038 and on 480 dpi. All I did was put the shared unhacked dpi Play Store into my ROM zip then dirty flash with a system wipe. Loads of apps updated so was possible that this also updated. Just gone into the store and have 2 apps waiting to be updated so looks like only get notifications after reboot, not on the fly. Oh well back to the drawing Slim brains :(
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] vimesUK:
This has been happening for me since a fresh install of 5.4 and the appropriate AIO GAPPS.

Usually the FC message states that Google+ has stopped.

EDIT: Resolved for me and the N5 by using the PA GAPP's.

Also the same applies to my Nexus 7.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] liquid150:
My battery has been drained insanely today for some reason. I had less than 20 minutes SOT and drained to less than 50% in the span of about 3 hours.

Does anybody know how I can figure out the problem?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] limzm:
Or removing the included G+ app using SlimCenter and then download it off from Play Store will resolve it too!

Seems like, as quoted by [MENTION=2757264]efan3719[/MENTION], the G+ app included in the 5.4 gapps is broken.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] yak84:
Install BetterBatteryStats from play store or search for the app thread in xda, the app will show you what keeping your phone awake and draining the battery.

And you can always take a look at the battery page in settings and see if some app misbehaves.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dankoman:
everybody that's having incompatible app issues is using the unhacked play store i posted, correct?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bikeryder007:
Ha, I hope so. I am on the latest regular minimal gapps with no issues. My apps are not auto updating, but I actually do not mind this. I just go into the play store, click it at the top, click My Apps, and then update all. The TRDS work you did on these Gapps have been great. I especially dig the dark Hangouts. I was just using the regular dark aosp mms until you hooked up hangouts.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] chikimonke:
Yes, I'm using the non-hacked-TRDS-only play store that you posted 2 days ago.

So I've managed to get my Play Store functioning again. Apparently the GMScore file that I had pushed to /system/priv-app/ as PrebuiltGmsCore.apk previously, was actually the -034 variant. I think overnight I got updated to -038 because the com.gms.core-1.apk suddenly existed in my /data/app/ folder this morning. Soooo, then I took these steps.

Clear Data for Play Store, Services and Framework (I know you said framework is bad to clear, but I can't get it to work without doing this)

Rename the -038 update from /data/app/com.gms.core-1.apk to /system/priv-app/PrebuiltGmsCore.apk

Fix permissions

Edit build.prop for a DPI of 480

Reboot to recovery and clear cache and dalvik (not sure if necessary, but trying to be thorough)

Restart phone

Fire up the Play Store and let everything setup

Check that Real Racing 3 and Bright Weather show as compatible

Edit build.prop to DPI of 370

Reboot

Celebrate quietly and keep fingers crossed that it sticks this time.

For now I have a fully functional Play Store again.

Something else that I was thinking about. That XDA article that you linked to earlier, that listed the different variants of the Play Services and their corresponding DPI's, the -070 variant doesn't have any DPI listed. Is it possible that it's a multi-DPI play services? Maybe if we go through the steps I listed above, but turn the -070 into the /system/priv-app/PrebuiltGmsCore.apk file everything will stay working with no rogue overnight updates, since -070 is the highest version number? I have to do actual job work right now, is anyone else willing to give it a try that has been having issues, but has also been successful with my above technique?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dankoman:
Good god, it's aokp all over again :p

Edit: no, 070 is not intended for our devices. It's probably for xxxhdpi density, Google wouldn't do a multi DPI version, that would be too easy.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] liquid150:
I have BBS, but to be honest I don't really know how to read it. It appears Play Services is active a lot.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Garrykd:
Yeah, I'm on the unhacked play store....I suppose I should have just kept my mouth shut :p

Everyone likes a good witch hunt though, right? It's almost as good (and frustrating) as a scavenger hunt...he he.....he.......(sigh)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] chikimonke:
Yeah, I never screwed around with the DPI there, because of all those hoops, wasn't worth it to me. This is different, here I'm jumping through hoops because I feel like I might be contributing to the greater good. :cowboy:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dankoman:
I think the problem is that with the auto updating play store (unhacked version) is updating play services to the wrong version because of the screen density. I think this is why people who are using official gapps with the hacked play store aren't experiencing this problem.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] yak84:
If you open a thread in Q&A and upload screen shots from bbs I'll try to help you pinpoint the problem.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Jubakuba:
Well at least this makes day number three of my thread absence here solidified.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dankoman:
You didn't miss much.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Grondinm:
I'm using the official gapps package and have problems with real racing 3.....
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dankoman:
Yes but are you using the unhacked play store I posted the other day?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bikeryder007:
Lol.

"Shake to close thread."
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Jubakuba:
Oh I've been watching. Just ignoring completely :laugh:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Grondinm:
oh no...i was going to try it later today. i though you where saying that people not using that one should have no issues....sorry my bad
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Garrykd:
I think you might be right. I'm also starting to think the update notifications problem is completely unrelated.

I'll just climb into this now....
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
I've only come across one app with I think a DPI issue. I just use Slim minimal unhacked everything. Used to use the app wClock. About 4 or 5 releases ago it won't let me download from the play store anymore. It doesn't say there's a compatability issue, just throws up a triangle with exclamation mark and says it can't download. Interesting thing is when I restore it from TiBu and try to apply the widget it says it's meant for a different DPI device. But I'm using the same DPI as always when it used to work....not to add to the confusion. :)

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Silentbob999:
Same boat. Hacked version from official gapps won't show bright weather for me.

gsm4.4.52-xx655-034, play4.8.19.

At least I think it's the official hacked version that I have.

so even with the unhacked version posted i'm having same issue. i overwited the Phonesky.apk changed permissions cleared data for play store and services rebooted had to remove and re-add my account and still no real racing 3...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dankoman:
yes that's what i was saying. i just didn't know which version you were on.

Hi, i've installed Slimkat today and i miss one thing from my previous rom... its the possibility to pull down the bar notification, to turn on wifi or see my notifications, when my N5 are locked with PIN or Patron. I've tried Gravitybox but it doesnt nothing, ideas?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dz1:
Hey guys I can't remove what appears to be menu buttons from the navigation bar.. When I type on Google, txt, or anywhere they turn to a weird symbol like this{ } any ideas how to fix.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] chikimonke:
Those are the cursor buttons. When typing, you can use those to move the cursor left and right. There is no "off" button for it, but you can turn on Volume Button navigation instead, and I'm pretty sure that hides the navbar buttons. Settings>Language & Input>Advanced options>Volume key cursor control enable one of the two options there and I'm pretty certain the buttons disappear.

Edit: Your picture didn't load before I typed this, those look like you have the menu buttons setup to show on both sides, not the cursor buttons. In fact, your picture doesn't show you typing anything like your description said?

Edit 2: Your picture looks like you have Settings>Navigation>Navigation Bar>Menu Location set to Both and Visibility possibly set to always show.

Edit 3: Ha, I ninja'd [MENTION=3087740]Jubakuba[/MENTION] :D
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] xX NeOnShK Xx:
No I am on on 5.2 gapps, the first gapps to contain hacked 4.8.19. I still have the same issues as others. It seems like Google did(read : ducked up) something with play store/services as I have never had a single issue with Slim 's gapps. [emoji17]
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Jubakuba:
Settings>Navigation>Navigation bar>Menu location (You have set to "both").

Settings>Navigation>Navigation bar>Menu visibility (You have set to "show always").

The "weird symbols" are arrows that allow you to adjust your cursor left/right while typing...

Or long-press them to move up/down a line while typing.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] hooliganx:
well... I have this "problem" with playstore.

don't receive update notifications... since build 3... I guess...

aaaaand I REALLY LIKE IT! :D :thumbup:

I go to playstore one time in a week and update what I want. done. ;)

this notifications bother me.

take it easy Team Slim... be patient and everything will solve soon.

admire your work and dev's.

thanks for this beautiful rom.

and a big hug for Kufi! ;)

So there is no way to prevent volume buttons swapping on landscape? I simply don't like that at all, but maybe that's just something I'll have to get used to ?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dz1:
Thanks for the help guys.. These are the settings I have
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] chikimonke:
Yeah, looks like you have the menu buttons still always showing on both sides, despite your settings. Do you have an xposed module that is changing something up? And did you try enabling the volume button cursor to see if it keeps the cursor arrows from appearing in the nav bar?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dz1:
Volume button cursor is disabled.. No exposes modules never like them lol... I did a clean install.. Originally I thought it was a new feature but then I could remove them.. However I am in 5.2 I might just update. I'm getting great battery life so I haven't re flashed.. Thank you do for the help might need to update to newest version to fix.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] chikimonke:
You are correct, hard coded into the ROM. I got used to it pretty quickly, the only problem is, for some reason some apps don't allow the switch. So you'll be used to the functionality switching, and then a random app will up and stay the stock way, which is generally found when trying to lower the volume on something and you end up blasting it instead.

---------- Post added at 11:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:28 AM ----------

Enable the Volume button cursor, this should disable the navbar cursor buttons.

Do a search for shake to secure. That feature may be the answer you're looking for.

[MENTION=2495716]chikimonke[/MENTION] [MENTION=2640853]Garrykd[/MENTION] @ anyone else who is experiencing incompatible app errors... i was able to reproduce the issue on my phone, and came up with a workaround.

1. in root explorer, delete any instances of PrebuiltGmsCore, or any other names that google play services goes by. Look in system/priv-app and data/app. this is to ensure that we're starting clean.

2. download this version of google play services (it is version 4.4.52 (1174655-038), the proper version for our device) and push it to system/priv-app. make sure permissions are set to rw-r--r--.

3. download this version of the play store. it is a re-hacked version i just did that updates one of kufi's hacks. don't worry, it's only semi-hacked and should allow for multi-dpi, with auto-updating still working as it should. anyway, push it to system/priv-app, overwriting the version of Phonesky.apk that's already there. make sure permissions are set to rw-r--r--.

4. remove your google account from your phone in settings > accounts > google > (tap account name) > three-dot menu button > remove account.

5. clear app data for google play services and google play store (DO NOT CLEAR DATA FOR GOOGLE SERVICES FRAMEWORK - IT IS NOT NECESSARY!)

6. reboot

7. open play store back up to sign back in and to re-add your google account to your phone

8. profit (search for real racing 3 in the play store - it should be your first result)

technical details of smali re-edits i did on this new playstore version (boooooring).....

in the stock/unhacked playstore version, this is the line in \smali\com\google\android\finsky\utils\DeviceConfigurationHelper.smali that would normally poll for the device's dpi:

iget v12, v5, Landroid/util/DisplayMetrics;->densityDpi:I

this is the same line in original hacked version of the playstore with kufi's smali edits:

const/16 v12, 0xf0

0xf0 is hex (16-bit) for 240, so in other words, 240 dpi is the constant value given to the play store, so that's what it thinks your device is.

this is the same line in my new hacked version of the playstore:

const/16 v12, 0x1e0

0x1e0 is hex for 480, so this returns the value of 480 dpi to the play store.

this worked for me, and i was absolutely able to get it working without clearing data for google services framework. let's see how it works for you :p

You, are a smart cookie superhero, [MENTION=1277872]dankoman[/MENTION] :good:

Real racing 3/bright weather not compatible.....and 2 updates waiting, no notifications. :confused:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dankoman:
delete any instances of play store in system/app and system/priv-app first?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Fastrite:
4.4.49 (1160803-034)

Play store shows incompatable with Brightweather.

400dpi slim 5.4/5.4 aio gapps

No notifications (this is good :) )
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] chikimonke:
One thing though, I noticed in my trials that if I replaced the files first, then tried to clear their data, things would get all wonky and I'd actually have to put back the old versions of the files (you kept backups right? =) ) reboot, clear data on the Store and Services, then replace the files and reboot. I did it with this change in operations and it still worked, here's hoping we can finally put this to bed?

Also, [MENTION=1277872]dankoman[/MENTION] , it appears a minor update to Play Music might be out?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Garrykd:
Not sure what happened (maybe wonkiness that [MENTION=2495716]chikimonke[/MENTION] described with wiping) but I went through the steps again and rr3 and Bright weather are now showing up.....I still have 2 apps that need updates but no notifications....yet. I'll wait that out a bit.

:good:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dankoman:
personally, i cleared data before and after replacing the files...

update you say? i'm on it! (knowing google though, their "minor update" probably hardcodes all the colors into smali, making it impossible for me :p)

---------- Post added at 04:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:13 PM ----------

try rebooting again, usually always gives update notifications on reboot...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Garrykd:
Nope...not yet.....I'll give it a while though
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] fitz420:
Would there be any way to make this a flashable fix
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] danarama:
Yeah. 2 zips.

1 with updater-script that does deletions, flashes original play and sets permissions, then 1 that flashes the re-hack.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] yaatzek:
[MENTION=1277872]dankoman[/MENTION] I've almost followed all your hints and finished up with not working Google account. Couldn't add it etc... doesn't matter. Anyway I've wiped data and clean flashed latest weekly along with minimal gapps and it's working ok. Bright weather and real racing are available and all the other updates went fine so maybe it's on the Google side this time and we're chasing the rabbit ... or mushroom.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Garrykd:
Well, that will teach you for ALMOST following all the hints. ;)

that's an old version. use the version meant for our phones and follow instructions here
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] chikimonke:
So [MENTION=2640853]Garrykd[/MENTION], did you finally manage to get it to all work?

[MENTION=1277872]dankoman[/MENTION] How are you thinking you'll edit the official gapps package to make this work for all supported devices? It seems that the GMS version is very particular to the device it's running on. Or will the small hack that you made on the Play Store still allow everything to work as we expect it to? I know it would make the package bigger (that's what she s...nevermind) but is there a way to include all variants, and then have as part of the install script, a method that decides which one is the right one for your device?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Fastrite:
Does this, "com.google.android.gms-1.apk", found in data/app one need removing?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Garrykd:
All apps are compatible, still waiting to see if I get any notifications (I can see 2 apps need updating).
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] chikimonke:
Nova got an update today (3.0b4) and Nova itself alerted me to the update, but I never got a Play Store notification. Even after a reboot.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] yogi217:
Please forgive me, but I'm a noob at this stuff. In your directions, "push" refers to using adb to push the files to that location, or can I download from you link using my phone and copy or move the file using the phone to those locations?

Thanks for the help!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dankoman:
Either
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Garrykd:
Yes, you can use root explorer or another file explorer that has root access to move, copy, or delete the apps

Damn you and your ninja powers!

Edit: he he, post count.....I can't say anything for a while (most should be happy to read that :eek:)....I have to go do something.....
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] yogi217:
Great. Thanks. I'll try later this evening and report back if there are any issues.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] chikimonke:
You are correct in the true meaning of "push" in the Android world, but you can just use any one of the root enabled file browsers out there (I use Solid Explorer myself) and copy and paste the file into the correct location. Just make sure you know how to change the permissions of a file in your browser of choice too, as the copied file will not have the proper permissions initially. (Hint: just look at any of the other files in the same folder to see what its permissions are, then make the new file the same)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dankoman:
I don't compile the official packages (yet), but the team has already discussed this topic when Google went all per-dpi on play services, and the general consensus was no, not at the cost of package size. But something along these lines needs to be done if we ever hope to see on-the-fly dpi-changing a stable feature.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Grondinm:
Still does not work for me.....

Nevermind another reboot and now everything works
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] chikimonke:

Incompatible apps, no notifications, or both?

Have you tried temporarily changing the DPI to stock 480 after wiping the data for Play Store and Services and deleting google account from phone. Then rebooting, logging back into the play store, confirming that everything is there, changing the DPI back to Slim stock 370 and rebooting again?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Grondinm:
It works now after another reboot. I edited my previous post
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] pkelly517:
[MENTION=1277872]dankoman[/MENTION] If I replace the Phonesky and PrebuiltBlah in the 5.4 minimal gapps with your versions, will everything be fine on the next clean flash? The two signature files are currently incompatible, but I'm okay with that. And I can check for updates sometime after I get home.

That being said, I'd like to get this fixed eventually, even if it's not a huge priority now.
