You wanna wait with everyone else right? Uninstall updates and your back to the zip. I'll update and share here with everyone.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Sorry, I'm confused... Are you putting out another updated zip of all those apps? If not, what exactly should I do?? I just didn't understand you, sorry!
[Android Apps and Games] djdarkknight96:
My bad I misunderstood too, Just uninstall the updates to those apps and they will come back. The updates only cover the ones in the zip. They are still on your system. When I update the zip I will come here with a link with the new versions and Playstore added. Just flash the new zip and have fun :)
[Android Apps and Games] :
Works great now! I also detached each apk from the market using TiBu. Thanks!!
[Android Apps and Games] russlowe73:
Is this zip in the tbo app? If not can I get a link to zip, or post if you have one.

[Android Apps and Games] Pkt_Lnt:
I let AppPoloogy 1.1.1 just sit in my Play Store updates and wait for the TBO update to drop. It is usually a few days, and there is nothing that critical that needs immediate update in the GApps that TBO themes, at least that I have seen.

I have Photos waiting right now for example. I see nothing messed up with the one I have, and Google does horrible descriptions on updates, so they give me no clear reason to DO IT NOW! I wait for TBO. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] RED ZMAN:
LOL I have no issue letting them sit, I let Hangouts sit there for a month or so before I touched it. But when you do, how do you update it? Do you have to find a flashable version of JUST that app? DO you have to go into TWRP and wipe SYSTEm and flash a new GAPPS that has it included?

I thought that the underlaying app had to always be flashed and not installed from the play store.
[Android Apps and Games] Pkt_Lnt:
I have the TBO updater app, so it alerts on a new version, then I download the Aroma (since I don't use all apps), do a backup in TWRP, then flash the new TBO Aroma, selecting what I want. It might be just one app to update. The TBO zip (normal or aroma) removes the old version and installs the new one, so no worries and no other steps needed. I just do backups before I flash anything (I've done a lot of beta tests for years that often break things.)
[Android Apps and Games] RED ZMAN:
Okay, you rock, I'll give it a shot. All the reading was making it harder than it needs to be.

So uninstall all the updates to my app, and ONLY install updates from TBO updater. Easy peasy.
[Android Apps and Games] Woody:
Yep, that easy. Once the "hard" part of getting them installed the first time is done, then the updates are super-easy. If you open the updater-script, you should see where it has text that will remove the previous version before it installs the newer version*.

*This is a good practice to get into, to see what is installing and where. I've seen some packages out there that are continually failing to flash and only after cracking it open, turned out to be a simple character in the wrong place or something super simple like that. Plus it is in your best interest to see what you are installing on your personal, handheld computer that is so intertwined with your entire livelihood before swiping right (and that this a TWRP reference, not Tinder :shudder:).
[Android Apps and Games] RED ZMAN:
Awesome, thank you gents.

I'm going through and working on it now, evidently the G+ install on my phone was not from the Pure Nexus Gapps, so that fully uninstalled. I'm checking version numbers on the rest.

---------- Post added at 02:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:59 PM ----------

Tinder... Ugh... I'm 41, tinder is what you use to start a fire.

So, looks like stuff is working much better now, but how do you deal with apps like Google + that aren't part of the Gapps package? I flashed uninstalled it as said above, installed it in TWRP, but of course nothing is there...
[Android Apps and Games] jamiejames:
Download G+ from the playstore. Flash TBO via twrp. Done.
[Android Apps and Games] RED ZMAN:
Out of thanks for the day, but thanks. That's what I had done before, but I had terrible white blocks where you couldn't read text when you clicked on posts, 1/2 the reason I even started looking at this again as I've started using G+ a bunch lately.

I'll give it another shot.
[Android Apps and Games] jamiejames:
That happens when Google updates their apps. Doesn't take long for TBO to keep up with the game. It's all updated and working perfectly right now. If that ever happens again just uninstall the Google update until TBO gets updated. I just keep auto update off and wait for TBO then update Google app.
[Android Apps and Games] djdarkknight96:
I think this wasn't fully answered, were you asking if you were tired of waiting "which is fine, I'm using stock Google app myself because I'm testing it and it looks ok" and use per app and disable the layer to it and want just pure stock, you can update from playstore. Otherwise I think your questions have been answered and I thank these awesome gents for helping. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] davidwilson83:
Do you have this zip on a USB OTG? Do you have something like signature verification or a similar option within TWRP turned on? If so then turn it off. Otherwise I would try to download it again and see if that works.
[Android Apps and Games] getoffmylawn:
I had zip verification turned on in the TWRP install screen. Once I turned it off, the package installed fine.

This is the first zip I've encountered that doesn't have zip verification, so I guess it didn't occur to me to turn that off.

---------- Post added at 09:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:18 PM ----------

You can use Titanium Backup to detach the apps from the "Android Marketplace". So the Play Store won't recognize that you have those apps on your device and won't try to push updates.
[Android Apps and Games] marbertshere:
I think you can only download through the updater.

Do you have the TBO one of the regular one? The TBO version is solid on my N6, no errors at all. Get a logcat and one of the devs here can help. :good:

[MENTION=4603975]daveyannihilation[/MENTION] Who can look at this logcat for the TBO Nexus Launcher? Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] hinxnz:
Hey man I know you already have your answer but what I do, so I can hit 'update all' in play, is that I just detach them from market with Titanium Backup as shown in screenshot.
[Android Apps and Games] sunanulh:
This always happens after I open an image.

For the first time I open Google Photos, the theme applied well. But everytime I open a photo and go back to the album, the background goes back to white.

What can I do?
[Android Apps and Games] djdarkknight96:
Known issue, nothing at all. It's very much hidden.
[Android Apps and Games] RED ZMAN:
The more I think about it, this is a great idea.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Pkt_Lnt:
Yes it is, but I have found that soon the market links come back and my apps that I don't want to update get changed. Not sure if it a reboot or just a normail TiBu backup, but that never works for more than two days for me. YMMV
[Android Apps and Games] Woody:
Just an FYI, a Reboot kills the Market Detach in TiBu. As far as I know, the only thing that will "totally" remove the update que in the market is a signature change and as we all know, that will kill Googly apps.

Ignoration (you can use that word in the future if you like) works best. Open the Play Store and see updates for TBO apks, just skip them. Sure it's easy to hit Update All, but really we should be keeping up-to-date with all our apps anyways, so manually entering each app that needs updated isn't too big a deal in the scope of things.

Check this. Right now I have updates in the market for Calendar and YouTube, both of which I use clear versions of. Now are these updates critical for functionality? Nope. So they'll sit until Train gets around to them (and his time is now severely limited to RL things). So in addition to my Calendar and YouTube, I have clear YT on my one son's tablet and N5, Black YT on my other son's tablet, ThemeReady YT on my wife's phone and Black YT and Calendar on her tablet. I get up on Saturday mornings and update ALL-TEH-TINGS before anyone else is awake. God help me when there is a Rebase for the ROMs we all use and have to clean flash. I used to be able to do them all in succession with an OTG drive where I would download the ROM/Gaaps/Kernel/Mods to a Meeno OTG I have. Then just plug in one, swipe and flash, eject and move on down the line. Ahh, the easy days when we all were running the same things.
[Android Apps and Games] hinxnz:
Yes after a reboot market links are re-attached, I'm going to look into it when I find some time. I think it would be a great option for devs to include as an option in the aroma installer or in the TBO updater app.

Yeah and also changing package name should do the trick too but bit of a hassle I feel, people can probably do this on their phones with an app called Apk editor if they wish. I find if I have numerous apps installed with frequent updates its a bit of a pain to click on each one individually to update them or hit update all and quickly stop the theme ready ones before they do update. I use the app called Changelogs to view changelogs as it far easier for myself than clicking on individual apps. I reckon an option in Aroma installer or with the TBO updater app for detaching the apps from the market would be a great idea.
[Android Apps and Games] chachin:
so i guess nobody knows why google nexus launcher is fc'ing and i posted logcat :(
[Android Apps and Games] davidwilson83:
Nope. Do you have latest Google App installed? Did you try flashing the Launcher again? There's nothing in the logcat that tells me exqctly why it force closed. It says that it's looking for a class which is already in the Launcher and Google App.
[Android Apps and Games] chachin:
google app 6.2.29.21.arm64 from theme ready gapps o.o
[Android Apps and Games] davidwilson83:
Not sure then sorry. It works great for me on 2 phones and for lots of other people too.
[Android Apps and Games] chachin:
[MENTION=4603975]daveyannihilation[/MENTION] the app is located in priv-app.. should it be somewhere else for it to work or what you think it might be happening :(
[Android Apps and Games] davidwilson83:
It has to be in priv-app otherwise the swipe to Google Now won't work
[Android Apps and Games] The Fer-Shiz-Nizzle:
So, you're like a TBO Santa?! Do they at least leave you milk and cookies?

Detaching Apps from Market

So I had a look at detaching apps from play store like I said and made a boot script to do so.

Feel free to include the idea into aroma if you want, so much more of an audience can benefit..

Note

Apps can still be updated through the playstore if needed, you just have to search for them instead.

If a clean ROM install, open up playstore and then the 'my apps & games' section so the database is created and then reboot.

The script waits till boot has completed, waits a further 60 seconds till detaching apps, this is to make sure playstore has loaded.

I run the script from /system/su.d but could be ran from /su.d or /system/etc/init.d too.

I've attached the script with .txt extension, click to view or right click, save as to download.

Remove the .txt and place in for example /system/su.d and set permissions to 0755 or rwx,rx,rx with a root file explorer.

Troubleshoot

Not working? Check permissions for the script.

You also need to have the sqlite3 binary normally found in /system/xbin, if not I've attached it too, set permissions to 0755.

You have an app that I may have missed, message me with the package name and I'll add it to your script.

That's it I think, enjoy wacking that 'update all' button! xD
[Android Apps and Games] VictorLapin:
Btw, can confirm Nexus Launcher FC on Slim6. Seems like ROM codebase is the culprit

[Android Apps and Games] kojak1989:
after flash some aroma theme ready apps from newest version i have message for update youtube from playstore but this is the same version of app, why i have this ?
[Android Apps and Games] davidwilson83:
Do you have arm64 device and you flashed arm zip?
[Android Apps and Games] kojak1989:
Yes.
[Android Apps and Games] davidwilson83:
That's why. If you flash the arm64 zip then you won't see the update. Same thing happens to me when I'm testing and flash arm. I still see updates in Play Store. But as soon as I flash arm64, the updates are gone.
[Android Apps and Games] Pkt_Lnt:
I'm getting it for the Playstore. Full search with Root Explores shows only one Phonesky in /data/priv-app

Arm non-aroma zip, Nexus 6 heckles about janky white, Nexus 7 does not.

#WhiteUIMustDie :D
[Android Apps and Games] djdarkknight96:
If you still see white look in data/app for com.android.vending and delete it...or uninstall playstore update in your phone settings.

---------- Post added at 05:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:28 PM ----------

Appreciate that but I'd rather you make a zip so people have that option. I'm not that lazy I can't hit update all and just kill the two or three apps I don't want updated. NEVER been an issue. I promote laziness but this is a little too much...lol
[Android Apps and Games] chachin:
im using du for today and its working fine ... benzo rom too working pn working cm13 working for me just brokenOS :( but i always been using brokenOS heh thats why ill just hold off on using nexus launcher stuff until i see another update. tyvm for letting me know about other users not being able to use nexuslauncher
[Android Apps and Games] RED ZMAN:
I used to do this all the time, but my internet is so frigging fast now that often the one I wanted to NOT update (Hangouts), would be the first to update and would be at installing before I could scroll to it.

"Internet so fast.

[Android Apps and Games] hinxnz:
It's not really laziness but convenience, lol and sure I can make a zip, probably later on today..
[Android Apps and Games] tsew2674:
As far as not getting updates, what's wrong with going into the 6 apps its affects and uncheck auto update. Then you can still click update all but it will prompt you to skip the ones you've unchecked. Definitely worth the 60 seconds or so to do, for me anyway...
[Android Apps and Games] hinxnz:
I don't think there's nothing wrong with that if you choose to have your apps auto update but then I guess playstore starts nagging you to update them? And defeats the purpose of the one click update all, with detaching them you're still able to auto update seamlessly with no other steps if you wish.
[Android Apps and Games] djdarkknight96:
So Google hates me, that's all!

so do we just flash this once per clean wipe? Thank you for your work.
[Android Apps and Games] hinxnz:
Yeah just flash again if you wipe system.
[Android Apps and Games] RED ZMAN:
I don't auto update anything, ever. I look at each update, read the changes, and then test the changes when I update. If something doesn't work I then send out a bug report to the developer, or leave a rating.

Word.

Just got to test it, I can confirm it works perfect and survives a reboot. Well done my man, seriously, well done!

[Android Apps and Games] jnewberry1:
Why can't Google just chill for a minute? LOL
[Android Apps and Games] hinxnz:
Did you join a beta program for an app? As that triggers playstore to repopulate its database.

Or do you know if you did something else to cause it?

You can reboot or call the script to hide them again for now, I'll have a look into it..

Edit: I think I may have sorted it, instead of removing the entries to hide them, I just alter them which hopefully prevents this, I'll upload new version soon.
[Android Apps and Games] djdarkknight96:
Please don't post showing updates available. We know and I understand your not asking but no need to post this. Thank you!

That's all good, I pretty much know the reason why now, here's an updated version for detaching market links.

I changed the method in the script, instead of deleting the entries, they are updated, it also updates another playstore database and also disables the service responsible for repopulating the database too.

Flashing zip overwrites previous version.
