hangouts just hanging

dunno if i'm doing something wrong on my end, but when i open hangouts and slide over to the text/sms window, the loading circle just keeps loading and loading indefinitely. this happens if i update to google's latest version as well, so i don't think its isolated to TRDS. hoping a simple goof or option i've made that someone can advise on
[General SlimRoms Discussion] j1gga84:
Still the same problems :confused:

How can I remove google play services completely from system?

I mean not only the apk, that is only one part of the removal.

After that I will flash the newest gapps on a clean way.

Maybe there is something left from V5 in the system that causes problems.

I asked also in the thread of the ROM I use and a user told me, that he has no problems.

He got the version via play store :confused:

[General SlimRoms Discussion] dankoman:
On second look at your logcat, I noticed something interesting. It appears that play services is crashing because it can't find the activity that creates the dialog for location consent when you turn on location initially. Scrolling further down, I see you're using xposed. Then I remembered this module: http://xdaforums.com/xposed/modules/mod-disable-google-location-consent-t2449926

You're not using it, are you? If so, please disable it and reboot, and let me know if it's still happening.

If that fixes it, then the dev needs to update the module for the new play services.

edit - here are the offending lines in your logcat, if you're interested:

[General SlimRoms Discussion] chikimonke:
If that module is the issue, then he doesn't need it anymore. The new Play Services has a "don't show this again" dialog now.
[General SlimRoms Discussion] piats:
That was the culprit for me.

I disabled that xposed module after Google play services were updated to v6.x version.

No more Google play services or location processes fc.
[General SlimRoms Discussion] MMeester:
Thank you so much! I was experiencing the same crash (google play services, followed by google location services) on two devices, with dirty & clean flashes. I narrowed it down to being related to xposed framework but didn't find the time yet to check individual modules.
[General SlimRoms Discussion] j1gga84:
Thank you so much for your help, I really appreciate it :)

Ok, I am using xposed but not the module you mentioned.

I must also say, that I use your gapps on modified CM11 and not SlimROM, maybe there is a problem in CM..

On weekend i will go back to SlimSaber and test it again.

For now I installed 6.1.07 (-034 for my device) and that works without a problem, very strange..

Should I upload the apk that you could compare them?

[General SlimRoms Discussion] dankoman:
google released different versions of maps for the different screen sizes, so that probably explains it. your maps version needs to match your play services version. the correct version is normally downloaded automatically, but things can get a bit wonky with the multi-dpi modded play services.
[General SlimRoms Discussion] j1gga84:
So my maps must be -034 (if this is similar to play services version)?

The strange thing is, that it worked with earlier builds of play services.. :confused:

So the only solution for me is to remove maps or to keep it and use play store version that fits for my device?

Regards
[General SlimRoms Discussion] dankoman:
yes, google made a LOT of changes in the new play services.

anyway, can you host your version of maps so i can have a look?

fyi, unlike play services versions which actually have different version numbers for the different densities, the only way you can differentiate the density sub-versions of maps (and, i'm finding out, hangouts also :rolleyes: ) is by dumping the badging using aapt via terminal. on the surface, they have identical version numbers, but the version codes are different.

[General SlimRoms Discussion] AquilaDroid:
This may be OT, but maybe not... I flashed Robbie's 8.0 build along with mini Gapps 280 earlier today, have spent hours since trying to get Maps (8.3.1) to show the correct position (it's off by over 1/4 mile). I tried clearing data, un-installing the app and installing from Play Store. The really odd thing is that Waze and MapFactor Navigator show the correct position. I remember having this problem once before, but can't remember what the solution was. Can't find anything on Google, sent a problem report. Any ideas?

Edit: After reading Dan's earlier post, I thought it might be the DPI setting, but changing that didn't change anything.

FINAL EDIT: Clean flash fixed the problem (first one in A LONG time!).

From my Nexus 5
[General SlimRoms Discussion] dankoman:
Sorry guys, Google changed a bunch of stuff in new play services. This has caused issues for several apps, including maps and hangouts. Some modifications needed to be done, but I think I've got the kinks worked out. After flashing latest gapps (which is version 282), if you're having issues with maps or hangouts won't stop trying to update itself, do this:

1. Remove Google account from phone

2. Clear data for play store, play services, and services framework.

3. Reboot into recovery and clear cache.

This should prevent the need to clean flash (though that will also take care of the issue, but is unnecessary), and you should only have to do this once.

[MENTION=1277872]dankoman[/MENTION] does your latest changes concerned google+ photo sync in some way? I've just noticed that my photos won't upload since few days. I'm using latest beta gapps. Tried removing google account, clearing play services data etc, reinstalling google+ nothing helps. On my n7 I have some old gapps package (237 I believe) and there it works, so maybe it has something to do with latest gapps packages.

edit:

flashed back gapps 265 and sync fired up. Although now it's raining google play services fc's :D
[General SlimRoms Discussion] tlk09:
So I still can't get gmail to display any pictures. I wiped davlik/cache. Reflashed the latest gapps. And no change, any email that has a picture in it just shows as a tiny box. I did notice that in settings I have The Real Dark Slim enabled but gmail is still white. Does that mean I have a different gmail app on my phone??
[General SlimRoms Discussion] chikimonke:
No, Gmail isn't themed currently. Check the graphic in the OP for the apps that are. Google has made life difficult for [MENTION=1277872]dankoman[/MENTION] so some apps will need to wait until after the L release, hopefully.
[General SlimRoms Discussion] AhmedNabeelM:

[General SlimRoms Discussion] AhmedNabeelM:
D2lte? If so then do a clean flash and update to the latest build. You might want to wait till next stable which will be available soon. The Gmail bug thingy has nothing to do with the gapps I reported this to the team before and it got fixed.
[General SlimRoms Discussion] angelcalibur:
hum... what happen dan?

2 days without any release!

you lost your phone ? :D
[General SlimRoms Discussion] dankoman:
gapps 265 (full version anyway) still has google plus as a system app. i have since removed it from gapps packages due to incompatibility with prebuilt binary libs required for hangouts. that might have something to do with it. now, it needs to be installed from the play store. photo sync is working fine for me. is anybody else experiencing this? and if so, i assume you tried clean flashing?

also, is anybody else besides the one person who reported it experiencing issues getting images to show in gmail? that's working fine for me as well...
[General SlimRoms Discussion] dankoman:
good to know.
[General SlimRoms Discussion] stokholm:
As a first timer (installing custom ROMs) I have a question: I installed the normal Gapps. Will I receive updates to those via Google Play?

I'm thinking no, right? Since they're modded?

How do you guys normally update Gapps? Is there a way of making updating them easier (than flashing in recovery)?
[General SlimRoms Discussion] VictorLapin:
You will receive updates through the Play Store. Just keep in mind that updating the app will lead to loss of TRDS.
[General SlimRoms Discussion] stokholm:
Okay, so is the only correct method of updating flashing the zip via recovery?
[General SlimRoms Discussion] VictorLapin:
Yep. The one and only genuine zip from our [MENTION=1277872]dankoman[/MENTION] :p
[General SlimRoms Discussion] Natakranta:
Hi and welcome!

The easiest way is to follow the weekly Slim release schedule on slimroms.net. After weekly (or stable this week) is released, download it, download latest beta gapps available (there will be stable labeled gapps for build 8, though bare in mind the beta labeled gapps are no less stable than the stable ones), go to recovery, do nandroid backup to be on safe side and wipe these 3 in advanced option assuming you are using TWRP: cache, system, dalvik cache. Flash ROM, flash gapps, reboot. Profit.

You are up to date.

In highly unlikely occurrence of having a bug, you can either restore your nandroid backup of previous build and try the above procedure of semi dirty flash again (bad flash happens) or try clean flash of latest build.
[General SlimRoms Discussion] damngood98:
If you're preference is to be able to use trds for your Rom, yes. Wipe cache/dalvik/system, flash Rom, flash gapps. Quick and easy. Dankoman update gapps often, usually within the day, sometimes within the hour of anything updating. I couldn't tell you the last time an app updated through the play store before he had another gapps release.
[General SlimRoms Discussion] dankoman:
probably hangouts...only because it was a complete redesign and it took a lot longer.
[General SlimRoms Discussion] stokholm:
You guys are really helpful. Thanks for your patience.

Am I getting this correctly?

Clean flash: Wipe cache, dalvik, system and data. Flash.

Semi dirty flash: Wipe cache, dalvik and system. Flash.

Dirty flash: Wipe cache and dalvik. Flash.
[General SlimRoms Discussion] Natakranta:
Yes, 100% correct.

Though there's one more:

Filthy flash: Just flash ;)

ROM flash script has a cache and dalvik wipe on the list of things to be performed by recovery, you don't have to do it on your own.

From my experience semi dirt flash (with manual system format or wipe whatever you call it) is the way to go with Slim. If you stick to this simple procedure: wipe cache, system, dalvik; flash ROM, flash Slim gapps, you can have a long trouble free ride of dirty flashing.

But you know the drill. You are dirty flashing, so having problem, do nandroid of current setup, do clean flash and check if bug is gone. If not, restore your nandroid, start logcat, make the bug to happen, end logcat. Provide logcat to team.
[General SlimRoms Discussion] efan3719:
a little OT but someone on Reddit is claiming his playstore is saying there is an update but hasn't gotten it to actually download yet. i'm keeping tabs on it. he said he'd post the apk as soon as he got it. maybe the material redesign? dont hold your breath though.

nevermind. he rebooted and it went away. probably not happening.
[General SlimRoms Discussion] tlk09:
OK, will do this evening
[General SlimRoms Discussion] dankoman:

i could be wrong though, i can't remember the last time i actually waited for an update for a google app from the play store :p

well after installing stable 8 and newest gapps play store and hangouts seems to be fine but maps is gone. going to reflash and see what happens. it will let me reinstall from the play store but i want trds of course.
[General SlimRoms Discussion] Natakranta:
You need to install maps and G+ from Play Store now. Both were removed from Slim gapps due to conflict with new Hangouts lib. They need to be regular apps now, not system apps. After all they are not TRDSed at the moment as not possible to decompile them, so it doesn't matter if install them from Play, and you can go ahead with updates on Play for them.

maps, no - i don't think so.

google plus and google search/now - maybe sometime in the future, but they faced different issues on decompiling than the playstore did.

gmail - don't hold your breath. this one never had any problems decompiling in the past. the issue was getting a modified and recompiled gmail to actually run, which nobody has been able to do thus far, afaik.

i want to clarify, though, that it is very likely that with the release of "L" sources and the subsequent update of apktool, these apps will be able to be modified. but this won't be for a few months.
