Cannot log in to google account, apps crash, found solution and it's source

I got a build of GAPPS for android 8.1 here https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=74862007&postcount=5, and after installing it, google services kept crashing (most other google apps too), and I couldn't log in to my google account (I was stuck at Checking info...). After trying everything I could find, I tried using adb. I googled one of logcat errors (missing shared library), and found the post quoted below. After extracting libgmscore.so from /system/priv-app/PrebuiltGmsCore/PrebuiltGmsCore.apk and putting it in /system/priv-app/PrebuiltGmsCore/lib/arm64/ everything seems to work alright. Is the build I found outdated or is this bug still there?

The ROM I used is unofficial LOS 15.1 with treble support https://xdaforums.com/redmi-note-4/...other-development/rom-lineageos-15-0-t3690465

And the recovery was TWRP with treble support linked in OP of the ROM thread.

I couldn't find installation log, but I can provide logcat from before fixing it, but I suppose it's not necessary in this case.
[Android Software Development] sanguinesaintly:
Rather than using a build over 2 months old, why not try a recent one from https://sourceforge.net/projects/unofficial-opengapps-8-1/files/arm/
[Android Software Development] counterfeit187:
I'm not sure about which that device uses, but you should also point out the arm64 link.
[Android Software Development] githyanki:
Here's the link.

[Android Software Development] sanguinesaintly:
Well spotted. I use the arm versions. Hopefully he found "Parent Folder" on the page.
[Android Software Development] dealpapa1:
when will opengapps support 8.1 officially? we are waiting for too long. too long. lol
[Android Software Development] sanguinesaintly:
What's wrong with the unofficial version ?
[Android Software Development] jlb1959.01:
.nothing wrong with these unofficial,,currently on crdroid 8.1 using these with no problems...
[Android Software Development] sanguinesaintly:
Stick with them for the meantime. Official versions will no doubt arrive when they are ready. It's a waiting game but we are OK with the unofficial ones for now,

[MENTION=6404745]MastahF[/MENTION] has been busy with some real life stuff, but hopefully in his prolonged absence [MENTION=1763928]MNBooZe[/MENTION] can help start to move things along? I believe he's the only other one with commit and merge access.

These look to be a good place to begin:

https://github.com/opengapps/opengapps/pull/571

https://github.com/opengapps/arm/pull/4

:fingers-crossed:

I'll answer this here, since I want to make it clear, I don't have any involvement with or power over Open GApps except for the occasional pull request or quick fix I've made indirectly or directly, and beyond the installer scripting side of things I don't know too much about it. ;)

Again, [MENTION=1763928]MNBooZe[/MENTION] (NicholasBuse on GitHub) is the guy who can likely help at the moment, since he is responsible for the APK Crawler and uploads. Maybe between you and [MENTION=5083335]SpasilliumNexus[/MENTION] you can PR Oreo 8.1 support with his help. :good::fingers-crossed:
[Android Software Development] Nezorflame:
Thanks, will continue on it.
[Android Software Development] celebi23:
Moved post to Q&A topic. Didn't see it before.
[Android Software Development] retired_mnbooze:
Hey [MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION] (and other interested parties ;) )

I only have "Packager" access (commit to all APK repos), and not "Developer" (commit to main OpenGApps repo). I have put a request in to [MENTION=6404745]MastahF[/MENTION] and will keep you posted.

Just to be clear I won't be doing any significant development, but I'm happy to put the hard work of others in the community into production.
[Android Software Development] shaggyskunk:
You've got to really appreciate the people who have the knowledge and are stepping up & contributing to Open Gapps in [MENTION=6404745]MastahF[/MENTION]'s absence (wishing him all the best!) Thanks [MENTION=1763928]MNBooZe[/MENTION] [MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION] [MENTION=2010892]Nezorflame[/MENTION] and others! ?

[MENTION=2010892]Nezorflame[/MENTION] does this help to get rid of the setupwizard error?
[Android Software Development] Nezorflame:
Thanks, I'll try updating it.

---------- Post added at 07:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:33 PM ----------

Well, I've updated some apps from that LOS package, and it worked.

Feel free to test it here (for now nano only, will add stock and aroma later) - ARM | ARM64
[Android Software Development] vladimiroltean:
For me, the PhoneStateListener interface problem still remains (this is kind of obvious, since the latest changes in your pull request do not touch the affected APK at all).

For what it's worth, the MindTheGapps zip you linked to does not exhibit the obsolete PhoneStateListener interface issue.
[Android Software Development] VincentJoshuaET:
Are these one of the Open GApps you have tried? https://builds.nezorfla.me/?dir=arm64/test

https://builds.nezorfla.me/?dir=arm/test
[Android Software Development] vladimiroltean:
Yeah chief, as I was saying, I get the absolute same exception with the "*-TEST" opengapps zip. In fact, I was even saying that the fact does not surprise me, since nothing has actually changed in that area in the "*-TEST" zip, as far as I can see in the pull request.

Now, since this is a bring-up I'm working on, it is quite possible for something to be messed up on my side too. Any ideas why Java won't auto-box the int into an Integer and instead throw the "no matching constructor" exception?
[Android Software Development] SpasilliumNexus:
I don't know. Maybe try the latest Carrier Services that was posted on APKMirror today? Google apps aren't modified in any way so it's likely something in your build.
[Android Software Development] shaggyskunk:
Well - It's a Development Thread - Make a Nandroid & Just appreciate the efforts by others ??
[Android Software Development] SathishKies:
Is there 8.1 arm64 beta gapps available guys??
[Android Software Development] shawek:
You have unofficial open 8.1,and LineageOs 8.1 gapps for 8.1...arm64... And many more gapps packs that dont have a thread,self made by some users/devs
[Android Software Development] SpasilliumNexus:
Or progress could be stopped and you can enjoy outdated packages on newer Android versions. And no, they are tested.

Also, why the hell did you quote a post from almost three years ago...
[Android Software Development] noersetiawan:
Play Store is left out, how to force install it?

Hello, I need some help here. I installed OpenGapps stock over a microg version of LineageOS, it got successfully installed, it also removed the "microg Settings" app which is neat.

The problem is, it didn't remove the built-in "F-droid" store, and the biggest problem is, it didn't install Play Store.

How do I get Play Store to be installed? I already flashed the zip three times, even tried a clean installation of the ROM, but Play Store won't get installed.

EDIT:

Attached gapps config and log.

EDIT2:

I noticed that in /system/priv-app/Phonesky, Phonesky.apk is there (the icon is of Play Store), but I have no idea why Play Store isn't available.

EDIT3:

It was stupidly simple to solve. Delete FakeStore. Doh.

[Android Software Development] yiannis1621991:
I saw that 8.1 appeared on the official site (still greyed out though). Does this mean that a 8.1 version is close??

[Android Software Development] retired_mnbooze:
Hey All, As some of you are already aware (XDA Post) our first builds for Oreo 8.1 are posted on http://opengapps.org/.

If you happen to see [MENTION=5083335]SpasilliumNexus[/MENTION] or [MENTION=2010892]Nezorflame[/MENTION] around, make sure you thank them (or even donate to them!) for all of their efforts with interim test builds, and pull requests on github to make all of this happen.

[MENTION=6404745]MastahF[/MENTION] sends his thanks as well.

Enjoy!
[Android Software Development] Nezorflame:
Thanks for the appreciation :) Most of the real dev work was done by [MENTION=5083335]SpasilliumNexus[/MENTION], I mostly did maintenance work with builds.

When P arrives, i might do this again :P
[Android Software Development] shaggyskunk:
It would have been nice if the xda article mentioned [MENTION=5083335]SpasilliumNexus[/MENTION] & [MENTION=2010892]Nezorflame[/MENTION] - Just sayin' ?
[Android Software Development] SpasilliumNexus:
Dude... I was just doing the scripts side! It was YOUR start here on the apps and files side: https://github.com/opengapps/all/pull/16, along with the how-to that I somehow looked over: https://github.com/opengapps/all/blob/master/HOWTO that pushed me to delve further into the project and in turn, give you a hand with it all! Had I not known about the how-to, I would likely be using my own personal hacked together builds of Gapps.

You deserve as much credit for the work, especially pushing out builds and having testers to find issues!

---------- Post added at 03:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:30 PM ----------

It's been a fun ride, and I've learned a bit more about how OpenGapps functions with its setup! It's not what some people think: just drop files in and all is good! I would too come back for Android P!

Thank YOU guys for OpenGapps period! ?
[Android Software Development] ABotelho23:
I'm still having Setup Wizard force closing issues on LineageOS 15.1 on my Tab S2 9.7. I was fairly certain there was a fix applied to deal with that issue?

I have to get to class, but I'll try and post a log tonight if it's required.
[Android Software Development] SpasilliumNexus:
> Tab

If you or anyone that has a tablet wants to test a build of pico or nano gapps with an updated SetupWizard for tablets, let me know.

It turns out that the only 8.1 tablet out, the Pixel C, still uses SetupWizard from Nougat (API25) in its 8.1 factory image.

Maybe a SetupWizard for phones will work on those, but again, I need testers.

EDIT: I'm starting to think that maybe LineageOS 15.1 is a bit too strict on app requirements. Then again, I know damn near nothing in that area.
[Android Software Development] ABotelho23:
100% willing to help test. My tablet is not critical daily, so I'm willing to spend the time helping you test out.
[Android Software Development] SpasilliumNexus:
Sweet! I have an arm64 build made, and am making one for arm. I'll have them both up shortly once arm is finished.

---------- Post added at 12:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:45 AM ----------

Alright, [MENTION=5291638]ABotelho23[/MENTION] and others:

Here's two test builds of OpenGapps nano with SetupWizard (pulled from a Pixel 2 XL factory image) updated for tablets

ARM | ARM64

Make sure to give any info on some inconsistencies you come across during setup so I can note that in the pull request to the OpenGapps repo (such as text saying "phone" instead of "tablet" or an image of a phone and not a tablet.)

Hopefully this orks as it's the only 8.1 APK that has no problem on Lineage 15.1. If all is good, the more that can test and verify it working, the quicker I can submit a pull request.
[Android Software Development] spectkiller:
did I need to download every opengapps update as i am seeing that it update every day and I can't download aroma package every day
[Android Software Development] Wolfcity:
Why should you do that? The apps inside the package get updated as normal via playstore.
[Android Software Development] spectkiller:
Ok the apps can be updated via playstore but what about the fixes which is done in each update ? are these fixes can be done through playstore?? I think not :)
[Android Software Development] shaggyskunk:
Absolutely not! Google apps will update through the Play Store (unless you have Do Not Update selected) Nightly Updates are useful for people who are Flashing a new Rom but it's not even necessary to Flash the latest Gapps version available on a Clean Flash ??
[Android Software Development] Redhawk2000:
I wonder that too, but I also wonder why they bother making new versions every day instead of just every once in a while. The user could download the monthly version and update it via the play store. I usually download a new version at least once a month because I wipe my system weekly for my room update. Maybe a newer version isn't necessary but I always have.
[Android Software Development] spectkiller:
Sir but what about the fixes which is done in every update? are they can also done from playstore ? I think not ;)
[Android Software Development] shaggyskunk:
You may have noticed that Google also pushes updates for different things - ie: Instant Apps - There is absolutely no reason for you to download every Nightly Gapps update unless there's some extraordinary reason to... ie: I Flashed a Rom update on an old Samsung Note 2 (I was really, really bored lol) Anyway I Flashed the Rom update (02/22/2818) and I used a Open Gapps package from 04/15/2017!! Some things like Play Services will prompt you to update them or some apps will not work... But to borrow a phrase "only maddogs & Englishmen" would update their Gapps package every day....

p.s How do you think it works on Stock Unrooted Samsung (and others) Devices.... The Gapps are built in to the Rom ???
[Android Software Development] spectkiller:
THanks sir for your great explaination and so I need to update gapps once in month or just downloaded it one times and never need to update it ?? please clear this query
[Android Software Development] shaggyskunk:
The only time that I Download & Flash the latest Gapps version is when I'm Flashing a new Rom (and even that is not necessary) For all practical reasons - There's no real reason to update the Gapps package that you are running - They update themselves if you have Update turned on - And some Google apps will update even if you have automatic updates turned off ?

Your phone will run fine without you having to update the Gapps (Google Apps) by Flashing updated versions ?
[Android Software Development] Wolfcity:
That's what I'm doing too. If I flash a new ROM I take the latest gapps package, I never updated gapps just for updating. I don't know how "beta" the 8.1 build is but when it's working no need to update imo.
[Android Software Development] tripLr:
How do I build arm 8.1 so I can test it ?
[Android Software Development] franzpimp87:
Same here, Google Camera is crashing.
[Android Software Development] VincentJoshuaET:
How do I know if the build bot is currently building, like in custom ROMs with Jenkins?
[Android Software Development] ABotelho23:
Only 4 places that I could find:

1. Phone at the very first screen (unsure if that's generic or should actually be a tablet or not)

2. Fingerprint setup says "Use your fingerprint to unlock your phone or approve purchases"

3. Says "Finish setting up Pixel" at the top of Settings (unsure if that's something can be fixed)

4. Google App settings mentioned Device phone number (unsure if that's normal as well)

I attached some screenshots in case I was descriptive enough. Let me know if there's other places you think there may be incorrect references I should check.

Besides that, setup worked well, without any crashing or FCs.
[Android Software Development] SpasilliumNexus:
Thank you! I will submit a pull request on OpenGapps' GitHub with that SetupWizard as a temporary fix. Hopefully we'll see a tablet version soon so we can swap for that variant instead.

EDIT: Apparently the SetupWizard from the Pixel C 8.1 factory image IS targeting API27 (8.1)! I will submit that variant instead. No more phone stuff like you have shared in the screenshots.
[Android Software Development] ABotelho23:
You're welcome! Keep up the awesome work dude, we all appreciate it!
[Android Software Development] SpasilliumNexus:
No problem! I have updated my previous post with new info that I have just found out ;)
[Android Software Development] jugoslavpetrovic:
Correct, the Google Camera NX as well
[Android Software Development] SpasilliumNexus:
Could not find tag for key 'com.google.nexus.experimental2017.request.disable _hdrplus

No idea what that is. Maybe someone else will get or see the error and have a solution to it. If you're using a custom kernel, try stock. That's all I can think of.
[Android Software Development] NingaR:
having Camera FC after arm64-8.1-aroma-20180301 installation on Nexus 6P with official Lineage 15.1, is there a solution?

Edit1:

Seems like a common problem with angler+Leneage 15.1, waiting for a solution.

Edit2:

After several flashing and reflashing I've come to a conclusion it's not a gapps issue, I had UNOFFICIAL gapps that was working perfectly on unofficial; lineage for angler by [MENTION=614507]razorloves[/MENTION], I used those to check if it was gapps issue on the official angler build and yet the Google Camera FC
[Android Software Development] F_R_I_T_Z:
No! Stock oficial LineAge 15.1 from their site. Clean install after full restore to the default and lineage install.

No customised kernel. I'm not the only getting this with Angler and OpenGapps still the only gapps that give us this error.

Previous "open_gapps-arm64-8.1-super-20180212-UNOFFICIAL.zip" Works 100%. Seems something after the 26/27 git merge.
[Android Software Development] spectkiller:
just for knowledge purposes I want to ask why open gapps for 8.1 is still in beta quality ?? is there is any issue in it ??
[Android Software Development] osm0sis:
Because it's been out for 2 days, so simply it isn't known what issues there may yet be.
[Android Software Development] spectkiller:
Thanks you sir for replying me :)

but what about 8.0 ,, the gapps for 8.0 is out for many day ??

so why it still in beta quality ?

I DO NOT provide support via PM unless asked/requested by myself. PLEASE keep it in the threads where everyone can share.
[Android Software Development] SpasilliumNexus:
Try this. If it doesn't work, use the revert zip and hope for someone to figure out the issue. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
[Android Software Development] Ibuprophen:
Try not to look at this as a bad thing but, the responsible thing to do for a good developer(s).

Primarily, the developer(s) can only live test (or even simulate the testing) for a limited amount of devices/scenarios. This is why developers first provide Alpha/Beta releases to indicate to the user that there's possibility/potentially the presence of bugs that really requires users to provide feedback (both via detailed text as well as log files).

With OpenGApps being as popular as they are and has even been recommended for use since the days of CyanogenMod till this day.

So if you look at how much more, reputable, damage that could potentially be reflected if OpenGApps was either initially released as a stable version (which would be considered a false hope) or had not provided enough time for beta testing (that would also be a false hope).

In closing, you should also keep in mind the fact of how many devices they need to take into account for when releasing their developments.

I did the best I could to explain this okay via text... :)

[Android Software Development] spectkiller:
Thank you really much sir for clearing my queries :D
[Android Software Development] Ibuprophen:
Your very welcome! :)

I also ask questions for clarity on various subject matter.

There can be 1 question with 2 or more explanations that can be exactly the same but, one of them can spark up the engine (so to speak) and give you that "A-HA!!!" moment.

It doesn't hurt to ask a question nor does it hurt to state that you don't understand a specific answer either and, hopefully, someone else can explain it in a way that you can understand.

To be honest... I've received answers from other English Speaking individuals that result in that "HUH???" response in my mind. LMAO! :D

I wish you the best of luck and hope that my last post is helpful to others as well.

You fix.zip was needed for my Nexus 5x. Thank you. :)

Note: I normally install Google Camera from PlayStore instead of adding it with gapps.

I have a Nexus 6p my "stock" google phone so I figured what the hell I'll try LOS 15.1 on it.

What new build? Did you see the fix I posted that people quoted and confirmed working, until the new build of OpenGapps release in a few hours containing said fix?
[Android Software Development] jbaumert:
Yeah, I did see the fix after I posted. I have a test build of crDroid (20180302) and just wanted to confirm whether the new source sync broke Google camera or bad Gapps. Sounds like its the later of the two.
