Flightradar24 wont open at all without google play services, even with this module.

On my phone anyway, is that normal? Anyone else?
[Xposed Framework Modules] VeEuzUKY:
Yes, normal. Some apps rely structurally on Play Services and won't work without it. Flightradar is one of them. If you downgrade to an earlier version, it will work. Or better yet, don't use it. Flightradar has always been buggy as CRAP anyway.
[Xposed Framework Modules] robneymcplum:
I like flightradar :(

Do you know a better alternative?
[Xposed Framework Modules] VeEuzUKY:
Then keep it, easy! There are endless similar apps like FlightAware, FlightScanner, Airline FlightStatus Tracker and endless others. Just search on any Android app store. If you find one you like that doesn't depends on Google Play Services, use it instead. If not, just keep Flightradar.

One VERY GOOD TIP to deal with Google Play Services if you have it installed (like me, still) is to use a tool like MyAndroidTools and selectively trim down all its individual services and actions till you only keep active the few background items that are needed to run the apps that depend on it, such as Flightradar. I've tweaked my Play Services install to be active to a bare minimum so it doesn't use extra unneeded resources or stays active in the background eating my battery with useless stuff. Additionally, you can totally cut-off all the advertising and analytics crap that is always running in the background and spying on everything you do. Just turn all items related to ads, off. Simple.

Finally, I recommend you downgrading the version of Google Play Services to the earliest version that still runs your apps. Each version of Play Services gets bigger and heavier on the system. I'm running a 1 year old build, much lighter and leaner than newer versions that are double in size and in complexity.

These steps will minimize the impact of having Play Services on your system while still allowing you to run your favorite apps that depend on it.

And one final word, positively NEVER update the Play Services app itself. The newer it is, the worse it is and the more useless it gets. 99.99% of all update of the app in the past 2 to 3 years are totally useless for the users, just awesome for Google and some of its partners:)
[Xposed Framework Modules] Alanon:
Are there any compatibility updates planned for this app? It still doesn't get all my pop-ups cleaned. :(
[Xposed Framework Modules] nutpants:
I love the idea of this app,

As someone who writes every developer to ask of their software is reliant on Google play services to run before I buy, I will be keeping an eye on your compatibly list

I downloaded this mod and now my snapchat is closing and saying that snapchat has stopped what should i do??? i installed it on my Nexus 5 Lollipop 5.1
[Xposed Framework Modules] Beefheart:
I've removed all traces of Google from my device (bar the underlying Android base of course), and now use Nokia Here instead of Google Maps and ug UnifiedNIP for my location services. However, the only thing I miss is Youtube, not because I like the app, but because it allowed me to control the Youtube app on my 50" Samsung TV. So much easier than trying to search via a remote control.

Still, this app allowed me to continue to use MyVodafone, which I'm grateful for. :good:
[Xposed Framework Modules] markpab:
I deleted Google Play services on my Runbo x5 last year, and as far as I know you could still use Gmail, YouTube etc by using a browser. On my ICS phone there are plenty of flash enabled browsers , and on KitKat there is Dolphin. The only app that wouldn't work was Play store, apps just won't download from the desktop site, this was why I re installed the Google Services APK. Would it be possible to download apps from Play store via a browser? If so we could do away with the services app. I use an older version of Google Maps, which worked fine. I hate the new version of Maps, where starred places are shown as co- ordinates. Of course, accessing things like Gmail aren't as convenient as using the app, but can still be accessible with a decent browser.
[Xposed Framework Modules] EthicalHacker:
We can use YouTube app without installing Google play services by using xprivacy.

Steps are as follows:

1)Restrict android.intent.action.VIEW permission of YouTube app in Xprivacy.

2)Open YouTube app

3)Message will appear "GET GOOGLE PLAY SERVICE" ,

4)Select that

5)Xprivacy will restrict launch of play store and now you can use YouTube app without Google play services.

This trick worked with YouTube Version 10.18.55
[Xposed Framework Modules] t3chwizard:
Can you upload the version you use to a cloud so I can download it?
[Xposed Framework Modules] t3chwizard:
I believe there is a chrome add-on or something that allows you to download apk files from the play store.

Snapchat still not working

So I downloaded and installed the module/app. Logged into snapchat with google play services on. Would then freeze google play services reboot phone and try opening app but it would log me off and the message "Enable google play services" would appear again. Am I doing anything wrong? Any help would be appreciated.

Help please

Hey guys,

This module isn't working to me unfortunately. The dialoque popping in snapchat that say that I need to update Google Play Services disappeared but now I am not able to do anything. When I click the login button (or sign up) nothing happens. I'm using cm11 and snapchat 9.14.2.0 and play Services 4.3.24. Btw I am not able to update play Services due to an play store error (No information received from server) or when I try to install an .apk file it pops up an error that it has a problem with "parsing" the package.

Thank you for your help

Hi, very good idea :good: but its is a shame that the application Youtube can not function without, and i don't find a proper link to DL Viral :(

[Xposed Framework Modules] Xspeed:
Alright, I'm going to drop this project. The idea was good but MicroG team does it better.

BUT, I've gotten an idea of another approach. Instead of faking GmsCore installation, my upcoming module will be able to control individual services of Google Play services! So you can in example, turn off wearable and location services, while keeping wallet and GCM enabled.

Main difference from the "Disable Service" app will be that apps won't crash with this one ;)
[Xposed Framework Modules] nutpants:
I for one would love to see more control over everything google puts in the back of Android. Ways to fake the info that google uses with out express permission is always exciting to see.

[Xposed Framework Modules] jeyragusa:
Hello folks, total newbie here. I have an old Android phone with just 400 MB RAM. I only need two apps - whatsapp and Skype to run on it. Unfortunately, google play services takes up more than 250MB which results in the 400MB being used up rather rapidly and making android crash quite often. Wondering if Skype and Whatsapp will work if I remove google play services. Wondering further if I even need XspeedPL?

Hi,

I have a HTC One that is not rooted, and has the problem with the camera (Pink in dark places).

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stovie_steve:
Are you running a custom ROM or stock ROM? And if it is stock ROM, does version are you running and does it match your current firmware? Please post a fastboot getvar all and remove your Serial No and IMEI

Because you are S-ON, you cannot LOCK the bootloader again, instead it will read RELOCKED. You need to be S-OFF to change the lock status

You may also get a TAMPERED message when you lock the bootloader using the command fastboot oem relock

If all is running stock I would chance it and send it in for repair, as at the end of the day this is a hardware fault not brought around by unlocking your bootloader
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
not 100% true, dont send your phone back relocked, you will need to do whatsteve says and get s-off, then flash an early RUU and HBOOT before locking the bootloader and going s-on, otherwise you risk the tampered flags coming back, the phone must be 100% stock.

HTC will refuse a warranty repair in any other condition, they will blame you on the grounds that since you unlocked the bootloader you could of done anything with the phone like flashed an unsupported kernal and overclocked etc, the camera issue is caused by overheating.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stovie_steve:
From my own experiencea friend sent it in with an unlocked boot loader and they repaired it. But they may have just been lucky.

I wouldn't return to s on on any bootloader later than 1.54, as when you do the writesecureflag command the phone will display a TAMPER DETECTED message and then you're back to square one

Best thing to do would be achieve s off using sunshine

Downgrade hboot to earlier version e.g. 1.44

flash an earlier RUU

Use revone to reset the status of the bootloader to LOCKED, ensure tamper message is not there

Then, if you really must, run the writesecureflag command. That's how I've done it before, and after hboot 1.54 you will def get the tamper detected message

I always leave my phone s off tho

Sometime within this last week, T-Mobile can see when I use my Hotspot on Chrome on my laptop. I used up the free 5GBs of Hotspot data. But when I use FoxFi on iPad it works. On my laptop/Chrome it pops up the splash screen to add more Hotspot data. I can still tether fine with PDAnet. I have Windows 8.1 if I use the Netflix app the FoxFi WiFi works. But anything in a browser. I have downloaded an extension in chrome as a work-around but does not work that good. So I just tether usb.

Should I try a new rom? If so which one? Anyone having this issue?

Hey guys, first of all I want to say what's up since I'm new here and this is my first post.

So, I'm thinking about buying the Nexus Q off eBay since I always liked it very much and was wondering what there is that I can do with it, I know that the only thing that I can do with it now as stock is just YouTube since Google discontinued the support from Google Play. Now, I know you can hack it and stuff but I want to know exactly what there is that I can do with it. Also, I'm a noob when it comes to rooting and flashing roms and stuff like that since I have never done it before so I'll need as much help from you guys as I can get if I decide on buying one of these things.

Sorry if a thread exists elsewhere but I don't see it. I thought it might be useful to discuss problems with Apps or games introduced in Android 5.1 on the Nexus 6.

Ill kick things off by stating that apparently neither the VanillaPop or Chronus ROMs will run Real Racing 3. I am hoping someone running factory stock can help determine if this is an AOSP or ROM specific problem or whether this just won't run on 5.1 and needs a fix from EA.

[Xposed General] _purple_:
So which rom do you have installed now?
[Xposed General] .Ryker:
If you're going to another sense ROM or rom in general it should not have anything to do with that as long as you installed another ROM.

If you are talking about a lollipop ROM you have to reflash the ZIP for xposed to be installed through here .

Then profit, you should be ready to go.

Otherwise with any other ROMS below 5.0 there shouldn't be an issue with installing it... perhaps reinstall the ROM or find another one that is similar to the one you're using and install that.

[Moto G General] MarckozZ:
Hi guys!!!​

Not all the phones and firmwares are equal. And not all the scenarios are the same. Given that recently a lot of OTAs of 5.0.2 of various countries and carriers are getting captured, a lot of you surely want the firmware for your specific carrier/country. So here we will try to find what to do in an specific case you are on. Let's start!

Lets use the rule of IF THEN DO THAT:

NOTE: There is no problem if you are on GPE 5.0.1 or Moto 5.0.2 and downgrade to 4.4.4 and then OTA to 5.0.2 because the OTA already includes a Lollipop bootloader and partition table, so the update process will flash the Lollipop bootloader and table partition again. As they are the same version of partitions, there will be no problem.

HOPE THIS HELPS TO CLARIFY WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO!!!

CHEERS AND ENJOY LOLLIPOP!!!​

Wow, well written, there are such various scenarios. I have followed 4.4.4 rooted, fastboot restore (via pc+cable) stock rom 4.4.4, check OTA saying all up to date, the had to flash the 5.02 OTA captured. Very happy with it.
