Install this old apk of the app to have Maps working again. Disable update of Maps in Google Playstore afterwards to keep this version.

With this version of Goog Play Services https://www.dropbox.com/s/mbxx78dna3p9zwp/base.apk?dl=0 I had no problems with Gmail, Drive, Linkedin. Do not forget to patch this one!!!!

My dad's Transformer (KK 4.4 #036) is crashing too. GPlay service stopped constantly...

I came to this post thinking that updating to 6.0 will solve the issue but...

I'll keep waiting here if someone find a definitive solution. If not, I'll have to advice him to buy a new tablet :(
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Starman54:
All - read back a few pages , you have to disable google play services updating and choose a gapps pre the update that causes issues with Tegra 2 based chipsets. a Gapps 31072016 or earlier.

- still working and no more google play messages or crashes since the fix. Back to its reliable self.

Gmail etc still works and if Google don't fix google play services I will just use browser or my phone.

In future, one lease of life could be using microG project. It's an open-source implementation of google play services and play store. [MENTION=5627087]ale5000[/MENTION] has created an installer zip.

Did you give Lucky patcher root privileges using SU?

What is not working?

Which version of ~Rom are you on ?

First thing to do is disable wifi (Airplane mode)

Then force stop on Google play services (I used Titanium backup to reinstall data and Google play services from a copy pre december 2016.

Then boot to recovery - I reinstalled #029 rom, gapps (31/07/2016) and wiped dalvik /cache.

Wifi still in aeroplane mode

Then installed Lucky Patcher (LP) . Checked it was working and then to be sure cleared google play services data and then uninstalled it from LP - rebooted to recovery , reinstalled gapps 31/07/2016 and wiped dalvik/cache. REBOOT

Still in aeroplane mode

Load LP see #888 (also adblocker with defaults ) then disabled retriever. Switched of Aeroplane mode and it all works.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Berend de Boer:
Yep, that's the problem. Obviously flashing an earlier version will work, but only for a few minutes, and then Google forces the update on you. I'm guessing we just have to wait till Google fixes this.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] intimedia:
I'm not sure but this work for me...just follow step bellow

1. Set your device to airplane mode

2. Instal Lucky Patcher

3. Open Lucky Patcher then tap menu search (look bottom of menu), type "play" then tap google play games, uninstal it using lucky patcher. If you dont have google play game just follow next step

4. Tap search menu again then tap filter on the right, select System Apps, type "play", you can see google play service in the list now, tap then clik uninstal...you must uninstal Google Play too

5. Now you can reboot your device onto recovery mode (airplan mode still active)

6. Instal gapps (31/07/2016) using twrp, after success wipe cache davlink, reboot system

7. After few second your device ready then open Lucky Patcher, click search menu then click filter, select System Apps, type "play", if you view Google Play Service select it, tap and select Open Menu of Patches, when shown warning prompt select Yes, then tap Change The Apps Component, tap Disable Component (pm method), then in the box search type " update" ...now you can see 8 component with update word under Reciever menu, disable it by taping one by one

8. Close Lucky Patcher

9. Set your device back on to normal mode (disable airplane mode) , Donwload Google Play Games from any website that have old version / ver 3.xxx, instal it using Lucky Patcher as System Apps (im not sure but this work for me), after succsess reboot when needed..

10. Open game that require Google Play Game like Clash of Clan or other...when that game prompt to download newer version of google play games just follow to instal newer version

11. After success please play games that require Google Play Games.. If you can login to google play games without any error this mean you success using my method.. Now you can add more google account to your device

12. Sorry for my grammer, to moderator please correct my word if this method work for other transformer

I am stuck

I'm stuck. I just bought an Asus SL101. This is my first time rooting, flashing, installing roms, etc. I now understand much more than I did a week ago, but I still feel like I'm just barely treading water.

Here is what I was able to do:

* I was able to root using Kingo Superuser.

* I was able to root (This was a separate root from the previous one. I unrooted before rooting again.) and install CWM recovery using 1-Click Transformer Root_1.1.

* I installed the drivers for the "Asus Android Composite ADB Interface".

Here is what I have yet to be able to do and what I did to try (and fail) to fix it:

* I can't install TWRP 2.8.1.

- I tried to use the official TWRP app. It just kept crashing on me. I gave it root permission. The crash would occur anywhere within 1 to 8 seconds.

- I tried to use GooManager to install TWRP, but, after clicking a 404 error on startup, and then clicking on "Install OpenRecoveryScript", it tells me "unable to find a recovery for your device".

- I went to the offical TWRP website and searched by device. There was nothing for SL101. I tried TF101 file, but it was a zip file with a blob file inside. From what I understand, to use fastboot to install a custom recovery, I need an img file. The file from here: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2434422 also does not have an img file.

- I got an image file from here https://dl.twrp.me/bacon/twrp-2.8.1.0-bacon.img.html and used the install directions from here https://twrp.me/devices/asustransformerTF101.html. But I do not know where to find "the same folder as your adb and fastboot binaries."

* I tried to install TWRP 2.8.1 via CWM recovery, but I get the "Can't mount ..." error in CWM recovery.

- I tried reformatting my minisd card into various types of formats (FAT32, NTFS, EXT2).

- I used MiniTools Partition Wizard to set the card's partition to primary

So this is where I'm at, at the moment. I also seem to be stuck with CWM recovery, as I am not sure how to go about reverting to the default recovery.

I know there is still many things that I can still keep trying, but I have spent many hours over multiple days. I'm tired and need help.

Thank you in advance for anything that you can do to help.

Where can we file a bug for this? For now I've done a refresh install without `Google Apps`, and I'm sticking to download `apk`'s directly. Yeah no more google services :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] maxlaz:
another method that seems to work in my tf101:

1) download the Google Play Sevices in version 10.0.84 (430-137749526) November 3, 2016	arm	Android 6.0+	nodpi from apkmirror

2) set airplane mode or disable internet connection

3) go to settings => App ==> select Google Play Sevices and uninstall all updates bringing the factory version

4) install the version 10.0.82 previously downloaded

5) create two empty folder in /data/app

com.google.android.gms-1.apk

com.google.android.gms-2.apk

6) reboot and unset airplan mode

DroidWall reclaims functionality (Google Play Services crashing)

If you want to actually use your device while/until you can fix it:

Install DroidWall then prevent Google Play Services from reaching the Internet. You'll probably have to select the service group (mine: Bookmarks Sync, Services Framework, Account Manager and Backup Transport are on the same service) but this made it so I could use the device again.

Yes it's old (and IPv4 only), but it works...and Google Play works fine, which gives you time to try things.

2) as a "nice to have" can I use somehow google play ?

Working configuration + resources used

TF101 : A stable backpeddle from Google Play NEON crash updates (combines 880, 911, 912):

KatKiss Marshmallow 029 / TWRP 2.8.1.1 / OpenGapps 2016-07-31

Google Play : 10.0.84 (430-137749526) (armeabi-v7a) (nodpi) from apkmirror

Drive, DriveSync, Docs, Calendar, Play : All working

DroidWall in whitelist mode

- Block/unselect Google Play Services process group to block crashes/remain online.

OpenGapps installer (Play store):

- Automated update via TWRP; downloads latest only but dropins work

- Drop a COPY of your OpenGapps into its downloads/ after confirming what it detects (else it may delete older copies on configure)

ROM Toolbox Lite

- Remove Google Play. I had to do it twice

- System App Remover (Jumobile) was interesting but kept quitting

FX File Explorer

- Root addon

- For creating the two .apk folders (not files) that disable updates (from previous post; don't overwrite anything):

/data/app/com.google.android.gms-1.apk

/data/app/com.google.android.gms-2.apk

TWRP Manager

- Access TWRP from Android if needed

? Lucky Patcher

- Not sure it's required (it kept access Toasting after I thought it needed to)

I had it 'fine' for about three days, now it crashes again. Had blocked the updatereceiver, but seems that didn't do the trick. This is getting really annoying, contemplating a life without Google Play on that tablet, and sideloading whatever I need.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Exterminator13:
Thank you, this is a working method to prevent Google Play Services auto-updates! Lucky Patcher didn't help me...

This is my solution for Transformer TF101 on firmware KatKiss 4.4.4:

Install Lucky Patcher from here: dl1.revdownload.com/dl1/1701/Lucky_Patcher_v6.4.5__5557_Revdl.com.apk

Open Lucky Patcher, select "Search", type "Google"

Uninstall "Google Play", "Google Play Services" (I also uninstalled "Google App" forever cause I needn't it)

Download open gapps on 2017-07-31 from here: github.com/opengapps/arm/releases/download/20160731/open_gapps-arm-4.4-pico-20160731.zip

Disable Wi-fi

Reboot to TWRP recovery

Flash gapps

Now boot and create 2 folders in /data/app - com.google.android.gms-1.apk and com.google.android.gms-2.apk

Now you can turn on your Wi-fi

Also, I wanted to share my solution about installing right version of Youtube for this gapps and prevent Youtube app from updating. There's ZipSigner app which changes a certificate and "detaches" the app from Google Play. For Youtube app this method causes failure on startup with a security exception. Luckily, I've found another solution:

The latest working version is 11.41.56 on October 28, 2016. Download Youtube app from here: apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/youtube/youtube-11-41-56-release/youtube-11-41-56-21-android-apk-download/download

Disable Wi-fi

Uninstall current Youtube using Lucky Patcher

Now install downloaded version of Youtube

Create a folder com.google.android.youtube-2.apk in /data/app. There should be 1 file com.google.android.youtube-1.apk and 1 folder com.google.android.youtube-2.apk.

This solution should prevent a Youtube app from being updated by Google Play: it begins to update but at the end dialog shown which says there's insufficient storage space.

By the way, you can prevent auto-update for another Google app like Google Drive. Open Lucky Patcher, click on the app and select "App Info" and you'll see a detailed info. All you need to do is to create a folder with name like apk but "-1.apk" has to be replaced with "-2.apk"

Turn on Wi-fi

I also installed droidwall because folder fix or lucky patcher do not work.

I don't understand why android has not an option to switch off automatic system update or choose manually which update to install.

Every OS has similar option
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] darkice83:
to create the folders, i used the terminal emulator and typed su to become root, which let me cd to /data/app

i then created the two folders, chmod 000 the two new apk folders (hopefully to avoid them getting deleted) and also went in the com.google.android.gms folder and chmod 400 the base.apk (from original permissions rw-------, again to hope that it doesn't get removed). testing it now
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] devil-kin:
I tried with Afwall+ (since Droidwall hasn't been maintained for ages), and actually the latest droidwall... unfortunately, it blocks all Play store downloads too, when activating the service 'Google bookmark sync, play services, services framework, ...'. So not really a usable situation (okay, the tablet itself is usable, but not practical to get updates in)

Tried the trick with making the gms-1.apk and gms-2.apk directories - in the end I just get another directory - gms-3 - and the issue comes back.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] darkice83:
yeah, even my chmod tricks caused the -3 version to show up, so that didn't work

SSL proxy intercept

re: blocking bad updates

When I was developing an API for Android I used man-in-the-middle proxy (mitmproxy; python) to intercept all requests. It has nice tutorials and it's open source. But...using QPython and QPython3 there are some dependency issues during install.

Still the idea was...get an SSL proxy ( I didn't have time to review apps)... intercept the download for GMS and respond with a TCP RST...basically a sniping firewall. It may be a bit before I can do more, so I'm posting this in case someone else can hatch a plan.

(for example I already run Linux Deploy, which is a solution for getting man-in-the-middle proxy installed...but it's overkill just for this alone)

This is amazing! The only problem I am experiencing is that the wifi connection is interrupted multiple times a minute and reestablished a few seconds later.
