Can you gather more info...... maybe finding out whats calling play services.

You need Logcat -

Can you ADB to the phone?

Command to run would be:

adb logcat -c (Clears Logfile)

adb logcat > filename.txt (Prints whole log to txt files called filename)

adb logcat *:F > filename.txt ( *:F F - Fatal Error)

V Verbose (show all possibly useless logs, default level)

D Debug (show all reasonable debug logs)

I Info (show expected logs for regular usage)

W Warn (show possible issues that are not yet errors)

E Error (show issues that have caused errors)

F Fatal (show issues that are fatal to runtime and will often result in rebooting)

(So change the F to a E or remove it all together, depends how you want to filter your data)

Or use a App from the store or internet if your not using google play. As your not using Google Play - its hard help, as so many things use it. So we need to find out whats calling it.

This is where i would start, Unless a developer with more experience wishes to provide more info
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] el mario:
First will have to find out how to adb. Looking into that

I get my books thru the library and they download from Amazon. I am trying the OverDrive app and read in the browser. I can download it to my phone and read it. I am also using the native browser and not chrome and no more closing so far. So with those changes it is good. Waiting for the phone/rom to settle as the battery life is not good yet. Hopefully it will get better. I have found that on stock I could charge pretty fast but now it doesn't charge very fast as all. But hopefully will get better. These are not deal breakers.

Can anyone give working latest xposed for this rom. Ive search many things and downloaded not working ones
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] viniciusrsouza:
I think you are safe with those numbers. It's like Brazil, for example. Can't call the police (190), but probably I can call firefighters and paramedics through 193 (didn't test while I was on CM12.1).

Guys, for those fighting with GPS issues, I came here just to report that I completely lost my GPS signal and even that file substitution trick didn't solve this problem on stock based ROM. So this is not a Temasek or probably others AOSP builds issue!

While I as using Temasek builds, substituting GPS file did the trick instantly, by the way!
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] el mario:
Thanks btw. for your comment but will need some time to dig into that matter to work with it

I am trying overdrive in browser but will check this out.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Beefheart:
Moon Reader looks nice but is poor overall. Cool Reader and FBReader are both better. My issue with Moon Reader is that, regardless of the formatting the file has, it inserts blank lines between paragraphs. You can see this on your screenshots. And if you select them to be removed from the Misc menu, it removes all lines between paragraphs, including the ones that are meant to be there (for example sub-chapter breaks). I'm amazed this hasn't been rectified.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Journyman16:
Fitbit app works great for me - hasn't FC'd a single time across Tema's ROM from the 7.x's on....

Also phone picks up the missus' HR and my Anova sous vide on BT as well as connect in car so it ain't BT either.

google play services stop very annoying

V 11.9

Here logcat it may help you [MENTION=2332422]temasek[/MENTION]71
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Journyman16:
Just curious - why do you think Google Fit has anything to do with the fitbit app? I've had that sync turned off all time... Maybe that's your issue? Did the turn it off stick or maybe you need to turn it off and restart?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] el mario:
It was only a short therm coincidence. Didn't help after all. Trying out a few things..

Flashing the play store fix didn't help either
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Journyman16:
Start over.

When you have an issue it often doesn't help to apply a bandaid, you need to take off the bandage ad start again. Clean Flash and install the Google Play SERVICES (not Play Store) fix before things get changed.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] el mario:
The play service fix you mean? Before installing gapps?

BTW, I'm not using a fitbit app or anything..
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Beefheart:
Solve all the Google issues by doing what I've done. Namely don't install Gapps and use F-Droid and Aptoide for apps and UG Unifiednlp for location. I've not looked back and, in terms of privacy, I'm far more secure.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] kencix:
Hello all.. one question. Any big bugs in this ROM or? Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] The Lord Vader:
That's correct. Always used it before and was very happy with battery life. But since I started to get FC:s I reverted to stock and everything fine.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] kenny1991:
Such blame.

Then since I used this rom I have never had any issues and I am happy.

I'm following this thread by the letter but, I need to ask..

Is the play services thing still experiencing issues?

I read online that CM managed to fix it?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] el mario:
For now, i switched of play services through app settings and removed updates, then installed calkulins service fix and so far didn't get any 'play service has stopped' . but don't know if it will update again to 7.5 services...
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] TrypelZ:
I don't know what you mean,i don't have any problems with google at all. Using Aroma gapps 5.1.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] danieljamie:
A lot of people are experiencing constant Google Play Services force closes.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] phatkid01:
Follow instructions from post #14146. You have to disable administrative privileges to Google Play services to do this then flash GPS zip 7.3.29 (430) universal DPI and it will stick even after changing location mode and opening maps

The zip is attached to that post

Hope this helps!
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] TrypelZ:
Well i don't see anything like that cause after every rom update i reflash the aroma gapps and it has the in build option to uninstall the previous version so i have fresh gapps after every update.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] kenny1991:
Wow
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] danieljamie:
Hi

Thank you for your post and also responding to me previously.

I have clean flashed Temasek v11.9, installed the PA GAPPS REBORN for 5.1, and installed the somehow working google play services zip you mentioned. I don't seem to have any Google Play issues as of yet. So that is good news.

Now regarding Fitbit. I have a Charge HR. It was previously synced to the Fitbit app on my Samsung ROM, and now I have clean flashed Temasek ROM. I installed the Fitbit app from the play store cleanly. I sign in to my account. It starts to sync with my Fitbit Charge HR and it force closes.

?????????????????????????????? :(

Edit

Is there ANYTHING else I can do? I have wiped any Fitbit data from my internal storage as well and clean install from play store still makes the Fitbit app force close.

Surely this is an issue with temasek rom when it works on stock samsung rom?

I am going to quickly (lol) try the CM 12.1 rom because if stock CM works and temasek doesn't then clearly that is the issue.

Edit2

After a reboot on temasek, even with the special modded play services, play services suffers the force closes again.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] youngpirate:

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BillGoss:
I finally got the Google Play Services update to 7.5.71. I got one FC and then it seemed to settle down.

So all was ok until I added a new entry in my calendar and then Google Play Services went crazy with FCs.

But setting location to Device only immediately stops the problem. See http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=60895834

So that seems to be the workaround.

[MENTION=2332422]temasek[/MENTION]

Regarding the Fitbit app force closing on your rom (logcat link in bugs spreadsheet)

I have installed CM12.1 latest nightly, and the Fitbit app works flawlessly, and does not force close at all.

Therefore I conclude it is a problem in your rom :(

Is there anything I can do to help you to fix it? I really LOVE your rom but Fitbit is required for me.

Thanks

Daniel

Edit: Also in CM12.1 latest nightly, no Google Services force closes.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Amar.B:
I'm using earlier temasek build 11.5 and mini gapps updated to the latest Google play services 7.5 no issues here!
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] TrypelZ:
It's a normal question,if you have no answer for it then don't quote it ( no offense ).

I just like the look of the S6 keyboard
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] the_ape:
The Play Service FCs are deffo to do with the Google location services, as if GPS only mode is on then all good.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] turbovan:
Mine also updated and I was getting constant FCs (approx. every minute).

I seem to have solved it by clearing the cache for GP services and then immediately rebooting.

So far so good with location services on high accuracy, have tested a bunch of apps etc and no FCs for a couple of hours.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] shohid1234:

I really appreciate your in depth details... But alas, nothing seems to work for me!

I wiped everything but external in TWRP, flashed tema's 11.8, reborn gapps, and the gp fix you linked to. I didn't use TB at all for restoring, nor did I restore through the set up screens, I just added my google account and then freshly installed fitbit from play store. Right from the get go, fitbit FC's. And I'm also having the play services error non stop.

I'm at a loss! I'm usually so good at this [emoji13]. Sigh.

Don't think google fit has anything to do with the fitbit issue, since I don't have google fit installed on my device
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] viniciusrsouza:
Sorry, but where is this fix?

I'm also continuing to follow this thread page by page making the best effort possible to keep updated. When this Google Play Services issue ends I will come back in the first opportunity (weekend)!

I simply can't get used to TouchWiz anymore.

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] ajm786:
Really? I just had a look at all the merged commits for 20150526 and none of them make any reference to location, geo, geofencing, or potential things that affect play services.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BillGoss:
Go figure! I did a clean install of the CM nightly and have had no issues with Google Play Services.

While a clean install of Temasek 11.9 still gets FCs.

Sent from my SM-N9005
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] ajm786:
Very odd indeed!

Let me try and dissect the commits some more and see if I can find anything at all worth correlating between the two.

Edit: couldn't find anything.

[MENTION=2332422]temasek[/MENTION], can you look into this? Maybe you can find something that I can't.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Phazonclash:
I noticed the same thing, as mentioned here with my OnePlus One

FCs with Temasek's ROM + whatever GApps package I tried

No FCs to be seen with the latest official CM12.1 Nightly + Slim GApps

The only possibilities I see:

1) A commit fixed something in the latest CM12.1 Nightly that was causing the problems and FCs with Play Services

or

2) There's something wrong with Linaro that the Play Services 7.5.x doesn't like
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] temasek:
Those with Google play services FC try this...

Clear data / cache on Google services frameworks and reboot.

I'm on Google play services 7.5.71 (auto updated) and I can set location at high accuracy with no issues, ie no Google play services FC issues.

Edit: scratch that. It comes back after a while.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] turbovan:
As I reported above, this did work for me. Unfortunately after a couple of hours all the FCs came back. So I cleared cache again and it is now fixed for the moment. So looks like it is a temporary fix only.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] simon_mx5:
No luck on my end :(
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] ajm786:
Yep, already tried that to no effect. FC after a while with nothing you can do.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] tsukot:
Mine on 7.5.71 auto updated. No FC.

I love my phone. :)

Edit:

Lol. After enabling Location boom. Busted.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] temasek:
So far only setting device only in location works well. So for me it's either location off or location device only.

---------- Post added at 10:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:21 AM ----------

It doesn't just happens on my rom, it's everywhere else in custom rom.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Phazonclash:
Yes I know, I wasn't blaming you or your ROM (or any other custom ROM). Your ROM is the only custom ROM I've used in the last 6 months, beside the official nightlies I try from time to time. I enjoy your work a lot

The fact is that I've not seen a single FC with CM12.1 latest nightly since I've installed it this morning (dirty flashed over 10.8, with only a /system wipe)

That's a pain in the ass for sure. I'd rather use your ROM than the nightlies, but I need my phone for work ;)

I'm pretty sure someone will figure it out sooner than later
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Journyman16:
Mine has not updated and I started using the Calkulin fix over a week back - as earlier, the only time I have had the FC's is when I have tried more recent versions.

Sorry about the fitbit thing, I was ttalking to a couple of others about it and when you mentioned GFit I just assumed you were one of them. :D
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] temasek:
I checked every single cm commit and nothing points to whatever fixes.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Journyman16:
Try post #14147 - I linked to it. And the localised GPS.conf page.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] ajm786:
Exactly. I concur. I checked every single commit and there is nothing in the latest nightly that even remotely comes close to something that would be associated with this problem.

That's the "Reborn" one dated 18/04/15?

Do you use the .gapps-config file to control it or just install the lot?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Journyman16:
So if I have this correct...

F-Droid is an app on the phone that browses for apps?

Aptoide is a Play Store substitute?

UG Unifiednlp is a Location app? I saw with this an old post about it not being able to be installed as a system app under F-Droid - I presume in the time since this has been fixed?

---------- Post added at 03:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:18 PM ----------

There are a number of apps that let you connect to multiple social media sites in one app... but no, I wasn't really saying that, which is why I call it fakebook. My wife uses it for her business stuff as well... le sigh...

My N9005 hlte also got google play service has stopped problem, I just found that it maybe related to facebook app problem. No more GP service problem after I terminated the facebook app...

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Journyman16:
I'm hesitant to blame a ROM for things - too many alternatives even just in this thread where people have the same set up but one has issues and another doesn't. To me that implies it is NOT the ROM but something individual to each phone. Note I am not saying it ISN'T the ROM...

Have you tried resetting your fitbit on the fitbit site? Given I have no issues with mine and I have been on practically every version AND done both dirty and clean installs, maybe it is FC'ing because the fitbit site is doing something?

Clean flash - did you wipe internal as well?

Here's my install process
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Journyman16:
Hah! I thought you were also having a shot at FB but then checked Play - it is a real app... :D

---------- Post added at 04:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:16 PM ----------

Had to do a Restore of v11.8 and the Menu button options are there... So they went in 11.9 I think.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] danieljamie:
I am also hesitant to blame a rom for an issue, but this is CLEARLY an issue with temasek rom and NOT the fitbit or the fitbit app.

I have tried over and over again. The issue can be reproduced every time.

This is my process:

Wipe system, data, internal, cache and dalvik cache

Install rom (temasek or CM12.1)

Wipe cache and dalvik

Install PA GAPPS REBORN for 5.1 latest, full package

Wipe cache and dalvik

Install SuperSU zip and Titanium Backup zip

Wipe cache and dalvik

Reboot

Set up Android for first time and wait 5 mins for everything to sync and settle

Reboot

Go to play store, download and install Fitbit app

Turn on Bluetooth

Go on Fitbit app, sign in, allow it to sync automatically

Now the exact same process has been followed on temasek rom AND CM12.1

On CM12.1, it syncs fine and works. Also no google play crashes but that is another story.

On temasek rom, it force closes when it tries to sync the fitbit.

There is no doubt this is an issue with temasek rom and not with fitbit or fitbit app.

Unless by some weird miracle Fitbit coded into their app that it may work on CyanogenMod roms but not on unofficial builds? I don't think that is likely.

Tonight I am going to try installing on a DIFFERENT unofficial CM build such as AICP to prove this.

I have provided a logcat to temasek from when it force closes, but have not had any feedback, also I tweeted him asking if he needs anything else from me to look into it.

Also yes yours seems to work fine but is yours the Charge HR that also has call notifications enabled? Because I would bet that makes a difference.

I honestly don't know what else I can do except abandon hope for me to use this rom. I don't want to spam the place with logcats but I don't understand them enough to figure out what is causing the force close.

Also it is really strange how CM12.1 has no google play issues, but temasek does, even on the same gapps package. I don't really understand why.

I don't want to sound like I am dissing temasek rom because I love his rom and his dedication to development, he is probably my favourite developer and I am grateful that we get this rom for free and I don't mean to bash it in any way, I have always been a huge fan.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] llvllorpheus:
Let me state it plain and simple: not a ROM issue. I have the Fitbit charge HR and the app installed from the play store. All working perfectly. You will have to look somewhere else for a solution. I'm on v11.8. Btw, call notifications work perfectly as well.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Beefheart:
Pretty much. Aptoide is a PlayStore substitute which allows you to add sources, there are numerous sources out there which host applications. F-Droid is an open source application store. As for UG Unifiednlp, it basically emulates the Google location service, so allows apps which rely on it to act as normal. And the best thing about it is that, because it uses a cell tower database for location, no data use is required and it's totally anonymous. You simply need a phone signal. GPS works as normal. I simply moved the modified NetworkLocation.apk into the /system/priv-app folder and set it's permissions to 644.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Hundsbuah:
Does arter kernel work again with 11.9?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] danieljamie:
Well I don't understand what could be causing it then, if NOT the rom?

Because it WORKS ON CYANOGENMOD!

What device do you have? I have N9005.

What baseband are you on? I am on N9005XXUGBOA1

My network is EE in the UK.

My bootloader is N9005XXUGBOA5

I used the stock temasek kernel and not the arter kernel.

I replicated everything exactly the same for temasek and CM12.1, as stated above.

How can you dispute that it is a rom issue?

Just because yours doesn't force close. Perhaps you have a different device (maybe from the USA like N900?)

Maybe my bootloader is outdated? I know it caused video recording issues before.

Your comment disputing does not really help matters, when I am simply asking what else I can provide to make it stop force closing when it ONLY FORCE CLOSES ON TEMASEK ROM.

Reverse this situation, imagine it works on my device but not yours, and you did everything I did.

What would you do next?
