Two Contacts Apps After Root - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently got my Nexus 6p and rooted it using Skip's Tools. Everything went smooth, I put Pure Nexus onto it. I notice I have 2 Google Contacts apps!
When I attempt to edit a contact it asks me to use "com.android.contacts" or "com.google.android.contacts".
Does anyone know how to remedy this goofy situation?
I'm not editing any contacts until it's fixed.

This is normal if you installed the google fi dialer zip with PN. It uninstalls the aoisp dialer but leaves the contacts app. You can use either one of them but I would recommend choosing one and freezing the other in titanium.

Thanks a lot for the info! That's exactly what I did.
I came from iPhone, the last Android phone I had was the Nexus One! Lol
I froze it using a different app, but froze none the less. :good:

Hoping to shed some light on "My Apps" section of market not working

like title says, hopefully this helps with the issue.
I have been having this problem for about a week and none of the fixes have worked for me. the only thing that has worked is re flashing my ROM (decks 1.3d) and then it starts working again. I have also flashed to a sense ROM and had the same symptoms.
So today I started totally fresh with ROM and kernel. Then i nandroided before i did DTA2SD because i thought a2sd might be part of the problem. "my apps" worked for me before and after i flashed a2sd but only showed about 10 of my apps.
next I decided to uninstall facebook and reinstall to see if that would make the rest of the apps show up. Facebook was installed on my phone but was not one of the apps showing up in My apps.
Well, after i uninstalled facebook I went back to my apps and Nothing was there again. So I reinstalled facebook and still nothing. so since that didnt work I restored the nandroid from before I did a2sd and rebooted and now "my apps" are there again but only the 10 apps.
I haven't been able to figure out whats going on but this is a huge pain for me because I actually read what changed when my apps update so going to app-brain then to market and back and forth is pretty time consuming.
I don't know whats going on but hopefully this helps somebody figure something out. I come here for a lot of help so I wanted to try to contribute something
edit: I do have another google account but it has never been synced to my evo, but it was synced to my Eris. I forgot to mention that after this last reflash, when it stopped showing apps, I went to settings and synced my other Gmail account then went to market and switched to that account and my apps that I had on the Eris showed up. Of course it stopped working once I switched it back to the right Gmail account. That makes it even more strange that at the same time it was broke with one account and working with another
And I just came back to my phone, had a notification for an app update but when I clicked it took me to my apps in market but did not show the app that needed updated

I don't think it's a rom thing, I think its a Google thing. I've used a bunch of roms and they all have that issue once in a while

I finally figured out with this issue that the market was switching Google accounts on me. If you have more than one gmail account set up, when it happens hit Menu/Accounts and make sure it's on the right one.

I've had this issue, still have it actually. Every time I switch roms. Certain roms will
automatically start downloading my apps, and certain ones will not, they don't even
show up as things that I've downloaded.
No big deal. I use Android Commander to keep all of my apps backed up.
After any combination of partitioning/wiping/flashing, even if I restore a nandroid,
I verify that my apps are installed, if not, restore my backups. Then I open the
application manager, scroll down to market, clear cache and data, then I reload
the market, hit My Apps, and they are all in the list. If they need updates, I update.
This was already mentioned, but I figured I'd mention it again for good measure,
At least I always have a copy of the apps on the off chance that I forgot to nandroid
them, or the market 'forgets' what I had. I've flashed just about every rom I can
think of for the Hero and the Evo respectively, CM, AOSP, Sense based.. Never had
any problems this way.
Just use the app "Eris market fix" from the market it was made for the Droid Eris but works on Evo too. When your apps don't show u just open it click the fix market button reboot to recovery clear cache/dalvik boot back to your Rom and go to market > my apps and they are all back, works great when your market links on tb market doctor don't fix the market which I have had issues with lately but Eris market fix has worked everytime I've used it. Hope that helps the issue at hand its fixed my market about 3 dozen times, as mine breaks everytime i flash a new Rom lately or even if I flash the same Rom I'm on.

As noted before, you do want to be careful when using more than one Google account in the Gmail app. For whatever reason, sometimes the secondary account will try to be used for your Google interactions and will cause messes like apps not showing up or not updating correctly. I say this because that is what happened to me. Once I stopped using my other account in Gmail app everything worked again.
If you go to the Market web page from a computer, what happens? Log in as your primary account, whatever you use on your Evo. If it's synced to multiple phones, you'll be able to choose which one. Oddly enough, I only have one phone on my account and it shows two - one is my phone information and the other says "unrevoked" - I think this causes some of my issues with the Market. If your apps don't show, try downloading an app that you already have on your phone. Maybe it will trigger something when you push the app to your phone. If you still have your Eris and use the same apps on both phones, this could be the problem. As a last resort you could contact Google or whatever Market support there is. I can't say that it would do much good, but it's worth a shot.

[Q] Is there any way to remove old apps from showing in the Play store

So, over the year(s), I have installed, tried, uninstalled, hundreds of android apps on multiple devices.
So I got my new Nexus 7 and wanted to browse through my list of apps in Google Play. Problem is that there are too many listed there. If you scroll through (I guess it's most recent first) it takes dozens of scrolls to get to the end.
And if I find a few things I want down near the end of the list, once you install one, the list goes back to the begginning!
I'd like to be able to remove from the Play Store listing, those 100 or so apps that I know I will never be reinstalling.
Also, the web version of the play store, only shows the first 180 or so, I can't even get to those labled P through Z!
Search yielded little so I turn to you for help.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
I'd like to know exactly the same thing. So far not found anything.

Permanently removing uninstalled apps
At this time, there is no way to permanently delete or remove apps from the Google Play website (My Orders/My Android Apps) or from the Google Play Store app (My Apps) that you’ve previously downloaded but have since uninstalled.
Too lazy to type lol...that was too easy but u sure knocked it out the park
Browse the play store in landscape so you don't have the list reset every time.
I wish they would at least let you filter your old apps... I'm much more interested in seeing the apps that I actually paid for lol.

Anyone wanting to see paid apps only, you need to install this modified play store APK from Modaco.

I've been a Springpad user for a while, and use the 'spring it' feature from the Play store app to create lists - purchased apps, essential apps, etc. It's really helped with organisation. I just click the saved link from Springpad, and I'm sent straight to the relevant Play store entry.
Yeah, so it's a bit of a dirty fix, but it suits me until Google get the Play store niggles sorted. Guessing it will work with other task/organisation apps, but haven't tried...

[Q] Can't do video calls on Hangouts

I was just curious if anyone else was experiencing this problem. I've had it since Hangouts was released. I've already contacted Google which just resulted in them ignoring me
Every time I start up a video call in Hangouts I get the annoying - "Unfortunately, Hangouts has stopped." It doesn't give me the 'Wait' option either. It's either 'Report' or 'Cancel.' Strangely, I can get it to do ONE video call after I clear data/cache and FC the Play Services app...which is strange to me. I have the latest firmware and I'm NOT rooted. Also, I just got the new Hangouts update (1.0.2) and the problem still persists.
Things I've Tried
Clearing Data/Cache of Hangouts AND Play Services. Restarting and without.
Factory Data Reset
Uninstalled possible conflicting software: Voice, GrooveIP
Any insight or if you might have a fix would be much appreciated.
Awww...no insight? Is it a lost cause?
Nothing other than to tell you it is working fine on mine (with no conflicts from Voice or GrooveIP). I occasionally get dropped connections when chatting with my brother in So Cal, but he's on DSL so it doesn't really surprise me.
Well hangouts it's working like it was an alpha release. I added some of my family members to g+ and then to Hangouts so we could videochat in group and share things, etc.
The first time i sent a message it didn't show up to any of the new users. I tried videocalling and from my side it was ringing, but in the other end nothing happened.
I went to settings and signed out in all of the hangouts and then it started working.
But with every new user it's the same if they weren't Talk users previously.

Same. Very annoying. If you clear the cache and dat you can do a video call, but only once before the error happens again.

Yeah I tried Signing Out/Signing In and it was still doing it. I also just tried deleting all my Hangouts and starting fresh then restarted my N7...still the same problem. I think I've tried every troubleshooting tip in the book and with absolutely no help from Google.
Hell I've gone through the entire root process to find a fix...nothing same damn error. How does this keep happening? It doesn't even make any sense.

Found the files and pushed them cleared the app's data and cache, restarted the device and no video chat. I'm running a Fix Permissions now since I read somewhere that when you push the files the permissions don't match the rest of the folder, so I'm waiting for this to be done and see if it works after that.
EDIT: Nope...still the same.
EDIT2: Ok...here's what is really strange. The file you mentioned isn't included with the latest version of gapps (03/01/2013). The libs included were 'renamed' to libgtalk_stabalize.so and libgtalk_jni.so. I need to know if anyone who actually has this working has these same files in system/lib folder.
EDIT3: Nope, just realized it wasn't any of that either. it has something to do with the Google Play Services app. I clear data and FC that and I can do 1 video call after that it still the same symptoms. Google says they are working on it so I guess the best I can do is wait.
This is happening for me on my galaxy nexus (stock 4.3 not rooted). I only just wiped the thing clean about a week ago from the factory image.
In my troubleshoot testing at home, I've discovered that my girlfriends nexus 7, and her sgs2 (with CM10.1) both force with the same behaviour. hangouts works fine until trying to make/receive a video call.
The ONLY android device I can get it to work properly on is my HP touchpad - the bloody thing is the only one that wasn't meant to run android in the first place!
I'm not sure how people have got it to work for just one call, I've tried wiping play services, but it doesn't seem to help.
I have same problem with galaxy nexus. One simple question, have you ever change your kernel or ROM?
Yes, but I've been running stock for quite some time now. Without issues.

i have a galaxy s3 verizon one..evn i have the same problem with my s3..when i tr to video call someone..it says unfortunately hangouts has stopped..nd viber also doesn even open..any solution will be appreciated!
same problem
I am having the same problem with my Verizon droid RAZR mass and my galaxy note 10.1 gtn8013. When I use my laptop to video chat everything works great, it just when I use my mobile devices. I've used my sons nexus 7 with my account and it still has the same problem.
I installed SuperJELLY on my Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE, upgraded from Talk to Hangouts, and get similar results. I can open the app once and am able to IM okay, but after a reboot, I get, "Hangouts has stopped." I tried rebooting into recovery and fixing permissions, but that didn't fix the problem.
UPDATE:
I'm unsure which of these steps worked, exactly, but I:
Used Titanium Backup to make Hangouts a user app
Applied the Hangouts update from around 2013-11-16
Made Hangouts a system app
Now she appears to work just fine, Captain!
How do you use TB to change Hangouts to a user app?
I have exactly same problem now. Just can't make any video call, it worked fine before and I just found the problem today. I've tried all suggestions and methods above but still not working. I didn't change anything in my phone recently.

[GUIDE] Nexus 5 apps safe to remove

Hi there!
I've put together a spreadsheet of apps that are (or so far seem) safe to remove from the Nexus 5. Note that I am running 4.4 KitKat, which has been unlocked with TWRP and rooted. The spreadsheet comes from the combined efforts of hallstevenson's spreadsheet on the Galaxy S3 for Spring (which I adapted and updated for the Verizon version), and referencing MoJo's script for removing Nexus 5 bloatware. I used Titanium Backup to go through and type in the packages and APK names.
CLICK HERE FOR ACCESS TO THE SPREADSHEET [GOOGLE DOCS]
Click the "5.1" tab.
If you have questions, comments, suggestions, concerns, or want to tell me exactly where I'm wrong about something, please leave a comment here! If such a list already exists, I couldn't find it through searching. And if I'm in the wrong category, I apologize; seeing MoJo's script here led me to think this would be the appropriate place.
**UPDATE FOR LOLLIPOP 5.1**
Here are the apps I've personally removed, if anyone is interested (this list changes with each update):

Updated for Lollipop!
I'm back with an update! You can use the same link above. Note that this time I've added a tab for Android 5.0 Lollipop. (There's also a tab for what I believe is 4.4.4, which I started and didn't finish... Sorry!) Again, I'm on a stock ROM from Google's firmware page, and I used Titanium Backup (v 6.2.0) to go through this list. I had a couple of app updates after flashing the new ROM, so the version numbers might not quite match up. As usual, let me know if there are any issues, or if you've figured out if an app can be removed that I've left blank. If you're going to be adventurous, it's best to freeze an app and test rather than delete it, and make a backup before you delete.
Enjoy!

Well, generally speaking, you should be looking in the tab for your current Android version. (Or as close as your custom ROM gets.) The list is based on a fresh install of the ROM, so if your apps have updated since, they'll show different version numbers and possibly different locations, too. Something I didn't think to include in my post, sorry!

Anyone get their Essential phone to use previously synced data?

I'm coming from a Nexus 6P, running Oreo. And upon setting up my new Essential phone, the only backup I could chose was from my chromebook. Both my chromebook and Nexus 6P show the backed up data on my Google Drive.
Also, if you go to Settings>Backup&Reset>Google Account: it will show "Back up to Google Drive - disabled by your admin"...
I really want all my old wifi passwords, etc.. can care less about manually selecting apps to install.
I did a quick search, and others with different phones are having the same issue, and supposedly google will fix sep 21st... I'm just curious if this is affecting everyone, or select accounts?
I do not think Oreo back-ups will work with Nougat

I had the same issue. With the help of another XDA member, I determined it was because my XL was on Oreo. I had the option of backing up to my Nougat Pixel non-XL.
This is exactly the problem. Can't restore a newer OS version to an older OS version unfortunately.
Cool, thanks guys. I'll power on one of my other nexus devices and see if they create a backup I can use. I have a Nexus 6 so that should work.
I never got either my 6p or 5x to oreo but still it only gave me one 5x backup with all my apps . Last time I reflashed the 5x I still had 15 from 6p and 5x to choose from.

Yeah I had the same problem, Pixel XL on Oreo and not showing up in my device sync list on the Essential Phone. Luckily if you are setup correctly your Gmail account should sync the wifi passwords and such after login. Just no the very first prompt at setup.
I think you might also need to login to Chrome to let it sync too... I noticed that some things didn't synch right until I used Chrome once.
not to chime in with the same news, but I cam from a GS8 and it wouldn't sync with my messages or anything
Came from a Pixel XL, not on Oreo and having the same issue. Any ideas? I would loved to get my SMSs and Wifi PWs back
Use a SMS backup app on your previous phone. Then bring the file over to your new phone. The WiFi, I got nothin'
