[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdadogs:
Hi XDA,

Until last night, my phone was almost a brick ! It was impossible for me to use keyboard, start a game, watch a video, or even answer a call !!! What a pity ! :crying:

I looked into it to find the source of the problem.

I deleted some apps, made some space on internal memory (who knows ?), I converted some updated system apps, to put it back in system partition using Link2SD.

I did it with F@#!$%G google play services and, I lost the app during the process (it happens sometimes, especially with google PS)

I restarted my phone and surprise :confused: The brick became a rocket :victory: my phone is no longer lagging as before !!! So, I tried to find why. It was google play services. It is no longer installed on the phone since Link2SD "lost" it. :laugh:

Now, I have another problem : I can no longer open google apps. I only use the store, youtube, maps, and the contact sync service. :good:

So, here is my question : Is it possible to get rid of google play services without getting rid of associated apps like youtube, or store (others are very easy to change)
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zenith:
Google play services is a mandatory part of GApps, it's included in all variants of GApps.

You can use pico GApps if you want the basic stuffs. Or you can use the ROM without any GApps at all of you prefer.

And don't freeze or remove any apps if you don't know what it does.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdadogs:
OK.

I may put too much Smiley's in my first message...

I already know about gapps. My question is not about how much gapps I want on my phone, but how to still use it without gplay service.

This is the only apps that "need" another app to launch !! I don't need a Facebook play service to use Facebook or messenger apps ! Do you !?

So why gplay service is so important to launch apps !? It don't seems to be an all launcher.. It is not an account manager..

So waiting for a real answer, I started to look at aptoide to replace play store, because I know my question has poor chance to be answered.

I think I'm going to dive again in my YouTube & VLC RSS project to continue receiving updates from channels I follow without any YouTube app to run.

OK so if it actually works great on every others phones and I am the only one to have troubles with Google services feel free to tell me.

Don't worry about me freezing apps, I exactly know what I can freeze.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] halloarno:
So freeze playsevices and see what work and what wont.

There is an Xposed module but unfortunately I dont remember its name. It could allow you to use Google apps without google play services.:cowboy:
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechnoSparks:
THERE IS!?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdadogs:
Hi !

Thanks for this useful answer. I was on the dev's thread yesterday. Unfortunately, it does not work with every apps. Still, its a useful module.

I'll put a link once I'm at home...
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdadogs:
YES !!

Take a look at here : http://xdaforums.com/xposed/modules/mod-app-run-google-play-services-1-0-t3054115

But it can't run every apps.

I'm surprised about this subject. I am not a developer, but if I were, I would try to create a tweak, an app, a module, I don't know something that could help people not to use Google play services app.

Hello,

Anyone know a high street retailer/mobile phone shop that will sell the adapter to allow you to put a 3.5mm audio plug into my herm?

Not bothered about price, really could do with it today due to a trip away (therefore online purchase no good).

I've checked a few websites that are also high street shops, but not found any stockists so far.

Thanks,

Never faced such issue with apps i use, but id say you have to first send request to their app developers to optimize it for Huawei phones. Huawei being third largest mobile phone manufactures, the app developers need to take Huawei more serious.

Virtua Tennis from Android doesnot work

I tired to install Sega's Virtua Tennis from Amazon Underground and it did not get installed. The Apk downloads fine, but install fails.

I reset the phone and retried, same result, install failed. I downloaded it on a Lenovo K3 Note, extracted the Apk (using APK extractor) and tried installing from there. It failed.

I am quite surprised that it is so.

Here Maps and a bunch of other apps from Amazon Underground (like a better camera, Office suite Pro, Sworkit Pro) all work fine.

Any clues what is going on here.

[MENTION=5262839]STRYDER~007[/MENTION] can you say where it's FC ? I uses AOSP but I will try to fix it.

In Settings Force close of USB Connectivity can fix by using [MENTION=5491189]xperiaz2[/MENTION]'s guide to port framework.jar for camera (StorageManage smali)

For Themes i put it for skin-core.apk but forget to add apk in port LOL

In next version

i try to remove wifi > passpoint switch and passpoint network entry, its useless..

I found some of Force close in About > Status > Certificate , legal information

I have already fix for above this next version it will fix..

If you found other please reply here..

I put lockscreen clock and wallpaper options only for [MENTION=5262839]STRYDER~007[/MENTION] , hahaha

now ppl can use Z5 SystemUI cause of him
[Sony Cross-Device General] STRYDER~007:
Considering the fact that you ported it for AOSP, it's working pretty good in CM12.1..Only it's FC when clicked on Data usage,More,Sound and Notifications and some options in Xperia Connectivity..Also you should warn people that they will lose the 'Enable Root' option in development settings after flashing Z5 Settings..:)
[Sony Cross-Device General] wolfmannight:
OHHHH NOOOO . . . . . . .

I thought it works . .

I can make for Cyanogen , But I really Hate Cyanogen stuff in their cyanogen builds...

And Love AOSP cause I want to make my build nearly to Sony's builds

I thought cyanogen has only theming feature that ASOP not have + Unwanted Apps and mods ... So I thought is useless for me

Best thing about my port is , it uses sony's smali , hahaha

[Raspberry Pi Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piadvice:
Hey all, looking for some advice on what program to use to play a multicast stream from an HDMI device on my work network.

I have tried and had the most luck with omxplayer, however after a few minutes the player crashes with a very unhelpful "have a nice day ;)" message. I am able to increase the amount of time before the crash by increasing the cache but it still inevitably crashes.

Does anyone have any other recommendations for other video players that can play multicast streams? I have also tried VLC but it doesn't play nice with the stream (I just get a static image from the stream with a weird green overlay).

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] an0x:
hi all

i have question !

there is many roms of galaxy s2

but i can't try it all !

so which one is the best from The most important points : battery life and Stability ( no FC , no lag , very smooth .... etc )

and thank you
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saber:
Best ROM threads or questions are not allowed on XDA.

However if you want recommendations, try SlimLP or Dirty Unicorns for speed (or smoothness). Cyanogenmod 12.1 should be good in terms of stability since it has constant updates. Battery life of lollipop roms are all pretty much the same, kitkat roms are more battery friendly IMO.

If you want good battery life that is enough to match STOCK JB, try slimsaber 4.4.4 by Fusionjack with DorimanX kernel. If you don't like it, then try Cyanogenmod 11 by Markox89.
