So it appears that these aren't even valid updates. It's misidentifying the need for an update and this creates the issue. I wonder if it happens after deleting the duplicate files, uninstalling and reinstalling fresh from the play store. Looks like I need to do more testing. I also wonder if this affects the stock rom as well. I suppose it could just be an issue with the play store app itself.

Update: It appears to happen with the amazon App store as well to that rules out issues with the play store apk itself.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] juniorr7710:
Thanks for the feedback... so what is the suggestion - stay put, delete and re-install?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] djomega971:
Should have searched the forum first before I posted that.

That fixed the issue.

Thanks!
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] metalfan78:
No problem. I forget who figured it out, if you find them, be sure to thank them
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] squeeks716:
This really is the most random issue I've ever seen. I had it with one of the first releases of nkd. Didn't have it with MOAR nkd, or MOAR 6.0 (clean flash) then updated to MOAR 6.1 (dirty flashed) and now the issue is back. The only pattern is it seems to happen after a dirty flash where data isn't wiped. (But I can't confirm that)
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
is it kool if i try and port this over to the Sprint Sph-L710T the sprint spark S3? cause we haven't gotten nor will we get Touchwiz Lollipop :/

edit____________________

also since this is 1.2GB what can be removed in order to make it less than a GB in size? and still have a working rom?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] townsenk:
I may have found a possible solution for this. This method has worked for me through the past three days and multiple play store updates. I don't know how or why this appears to be working and I may be quickly proven wrong but this is what I did.

Deleted all the duplicates in /data/app (keeping the latest incremented version)..Rebooted

Opened TiBU (Titanium Backup) "Menu" "Market Auto Updates". Deselect all items then click the checkmark to save.

Here is the part that I was a bit worried about because I wasn't sure how TiBU would affect ART.

Select "Menu" "Clean up the Dalvik cache" It will scan and then allow it to delete the files as it recommends. On my system it found 233Mb of "uneeded" files in the cache. I don't know what it deleted but I have found no adverse affects afterward..

Reboot.

Like I said, running 3 days on DeOdexed OA6 without issue. prior to this I'd usually get at least one app update duplicating itself daily causing the system to optimize apps on every reboot..

I'll update/delete this post if this is all just luck. Let me know if it works for you
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] juniorr7710:
Thanks for your update >>> But what about if one if not running TiBU?? What i do to back them up is MyBackUpPro

So how do I go about getting rid of duplicates then, or I should just installed TiBU and take it from there?? :good:
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] townsenk:
TiBU doesn't have to remain installed. It's used only for it's extra cleanup utilities and as far as I can tell only needs to be done once.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] elwood:
You would use a root explorer to delete all the duplicates
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] juniorr7710:
Ok will try and delete the oldest duplicates and then restart to see if that fixes the issue. Thanks

Edit/delete
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Danster840:
My rom isn't acting up other than an occasional contacts crash, so I decided to confirm what the data/apps folder should look like and you are correct. Only the highest valued copy is left, so if I have an app with - 2 then it's the only one left. The OS took it upon itself to delete any lesser copy of the file.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] townsenk:
Correct, For people experiencing this issue an update appears (valid or not) and a duplicate is created and the older version isn't cleaned up by the system. I'm at 5 days without this occurring..so far so good.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] XStylus:
Just went from the Sprint OTA Lollipop ROM to this. I seem to be getting that annoying USB cover warning as well as the battery cover warning, which is odd since I thought this was supposed to be a feature of this ROM.

The OTA ROM at least gave a "never bother me again" checkbox, though this seems to be missing that.

Edit: The "Do not show again" checkbox finally appeared, and then later for the battery cover as well. Showed up as an option after the fourth or fifth time. Still though, I thought it wasn't supposed to show up at all...
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] juniorr7710:
So far good on my end after you post.. The only thing and don' know what else to do, is that after rooting/OA6 Rom - I keep seeing the new software update pop up, which I choose to ignore... any way to get rid of it?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Eye4thesky:

Thats basically all ive been having issues with but read that disabling Google+ would stop it. Disabled and sure enough it did. Was just annoying popup that now isnt happening. Really appreciate this ROM. Thank you

You must be on the Android L firmware before running this rom and that has to be flashed from a PC via Odin.

You cannot flash full firmware with mobile odin.

Sadly, it looks like I'll probably just sell this thing [SM-G900P] on Craigs List. I've had it for a year, now, and I figured that Samsung, or possibly one of the developers here, might add [odin] support for one of the *NIX type OS's, or maybe even OSX -- both of which I have. But I don't seem to see any sign of it. :(

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Buddlespit:
Just in case someone else is having issues with this rom after flashing the linked base OA6 firmware, I found that I can get this rom to work flawlessly if I flash a 4.* firmware and allow the system to upgrade itself OTA to OA6, then root and flash this rom.

As for using Heimdall, it's abandonware and doesn't work for our phones. I ended up installing XP to a virtualbox image, then installed Samsung USB drivers, Odin and Kies. Won't work in wine because wine still doesn't support samsung usb. Devs are still working on that.

Are there any more flashable mods available for this rom? If so, could you please add them to one of the original posts?

Can I have a copy of this that is unrooted?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] m20120:
Hmm... not sure I have seen an unrooted stock OA6 ROM that you can flash, except this thread of the stock TAR. You could install this rooted OA6 ROM and then unroot from the SuperSU app. That should get you there.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] chmcarro:
Thanks, I tried this with the MOAR ROM and it boot looped. Is there a risk of that happening here?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] m20120:
MOAR bootlooped when you did an Unroot from SuperSU? I have not tried that with MOAR (or this ROM) but I have successfully unrooted before using SuperSU. I was always Stock (or mostly stock) when I did. Maybe MOAR did not like that.

This ROM is nearly stock. No much added, just stuff removed. I would not think it would have a problem being unrooted. If you really want to be 100% stock and unrooted I would think the full OAR TAR would be the way to go. You will lose everything (data) when you flash it, so have a backup before you go, In the end, best advice is to always have a backup before you flash anything. I do a nandroid and also Titanium Backup of all of my apps and data regularly.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Buddlespit:
I ended up flashing NE5, then allowing the system to update OTA. Kies3 doesn't work for me, tells me that my model is "", so I can't get my hands on a good OA6 tar.

Xposed running nicely

I wish Wanam would be compatible, but at least a FEW modules can run. Xposed appears as though it isn't running at all, but modules that are Lollipop-compatible work, which tells me it's a go. Greenify Experimental features being one of them. Xposed torch working nicely, and LBE Security Master. And a few others.....

Anyone trying this....It's not for the faint of heart. You MAY see bootloops and/or numerous reboots. Read the Xposed thread(s) carefully.

Td can we just flash your mini bootloaders instead of full tarball then flash the rom TIA
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
You can try but I've heard a couple reports that it may not work for the initial upgrade and may still require flashing the full tarball at least once.

In my experience, and from multiple reports from other users when updating their firmware to NKD, the full tarball was what got them going.

I think once that is done, then you can use the mini-bootloaders to go back and forth between firmwares.

Just an observation, everyone's experience may be different. ;)

So I was on stock LP. Playstore works. I can download from any browser. Then I flashed this ROM. Playstore stops working and I cant download anything. I get error 491 I think in Playstore.

1. Remove google account

-restart

-add account back

-fail

2. Tried multiple kernels

-fail

3. Wiped, wiped, wiped, reinstalled ROM

-fail

Odin stock

- playstore works

Any idea what I did wrong? I just wanted to be on deodexed to get ready for the mad house about to happen. I check this thread daily if not every few hours for new stuff to try and deodexed just seems like the way to go. Any help would appreciated.

Others: used MOAR debloat/addbloat tool, ktoonz kernel is what Ill flash as my preferred kernel, kidmode and gear manager, no google apps except social stuff and storage apps (drive, google plus/hangouts), vipermod audio app, and deknox mod from tdundham.

(Although I only did that once each way just to see what would happen.)

I also had to use the nand erase option in Odin to flash the full oa6, otherwise I just got stuck at "loading recovery"-- neither waiting 30 minutes nor pulling the battery worked. Don't know why that should be.

Well, it was working at first. But then I got a 920 error trying to download Triangle Away, and now I'm also getting the 491 error on everything else. Cleared all the Play Services & Play store data, didn't fix it-- then wiped Dalvik & cache, no good. About 1/2 or a little more of my apps restored before the 920 happened, and that used to go away after waiting long enough. I've never run into the 491 before. I started getting Knox security notice unauthorized actions notifications at the same time the 491 PS errors started occurring.

~~~ Update ~~~

I reflashed the deodexed oa6 and everything seems to be working as expected again-- no security warnings, Playstore downloads OK. Not sure what that was about.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] joshdv:
I prefer the calendar from the Play store (mostly because of the widget), and it works fine. Just a heads up, if you run the debloat tool, it will most likely break the calendar sync tool. I used the calendar fix from the international rom thread and that worked to fix it in case anybody else runs into that.

I had issues flashing last night when this was first released. I downloaded and wiped and flashed from AO3, everything flashed fine, booted fine, restored fine, but I couldn't download from the play store or download anything from any browser. Kept getting the 491 error.. Clean flashed 4 more times with the same result. Wiped all cache, same result. When I got home, I went ahead and backed up my internal sd, flashed the .tar, let that boot, then flashed a recovery, then flashed this rom again, and now everything works flawlessly for me.

So, TL:DR, if you're having problems with error 491, backup your internal sd, flash the stock tar from odin, flash a twrp, then flash this rom again.

Hope that helps somebody out.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] youngpro83:
So is backing up the internal SD needed? I dont care about what is on the sd card as its already been wiped and I already have a backup. I actually wiped and wiped and wiped and flashed this ROM over and over and still cant get playstore to work. Also Ive odin back to stock and then flashed this ROM and still nothing. The only thing I didnt do was backup my internal card.

How are you backing up internal card?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] vunuts:
You only need to back up the internal if you want to save any of your personal data that was on there. So it's not necessary, but it's just what I do. I just plug it into the computer, then copy my internal sd to a folder on my computer.
