Hello, as per title I can download Android Auto from the Play Store but can't update it after I launch the app. Different story for Netflix, which apparently isn't available for this device, or more probably, for this rom version. Do I have to upgrade to 19.1 or is there a safe alternative to where I can download/update them from?

I suspect you don't have Gapps at all and have chinese version of play store and so on...
The only one solution is to find on chinese forums a ROM version for your model containing GApps and all 'occidental' stuff.
Isn't A5108 the China version of A5 2016?
Try searching for GApps 一键安装 which will install GApps on most ROMs. IIRC it requires root tho. You can also try searching for solutions at GalaxyclubCN
Edit : just saw your other post. Google Play cannot be installed using apk on file explorer. It will not open. You will need to flash the gaaps package via custom recovery like twrp. The 一键安装 basically does the same thing. It's just an app
Some days ago the meizu m2 of my brother started having problems with the google apps not working any more (completely white screen in Play store and nothing working well). For this reason I decided to unlock its bootloader and install Lineage OS but after flashing Open Gapps I noticed that the google apps keep crashing all the time.
Looking around these forums I noticed that there are a lot of people with the same problem and for this reason I wanted to open this thread to collect all the discussions on the problem and to track any possible news about the problem itself and possible solutions if found.
I think that the cause of the problem may be Google discontinuing support to Gapps on phones not certified (I read some news on this topic some months ago).
I would like to know if someone has already found a solution for the problem to make the Phone usable again with the original Flyme OS or also a custom rom.
Thanks in advance.
[UPDATE] As a first solution for now I installed an old version of the gapps (You can find all the open gapps by date on the tags of the open gapps repository on github i.e: https://github.com/opengapps/arm64/tags?after=20180622) like suggested by someone on other threads. It seems to work for now because just after installation I deactivated the play store from the system settings so that google play services cannot be updated. I use yalp store (available on f-droid) to install apps from the play store
hello , i have a same problem,
this problem is with OpenGAPPS and MindTheGapps with 4 testing roms (Lineage, Viper, CrDroidAndroid, Resurrection_Remix),
in original Flyme OS is same problem.
I've tried Lineage 14, Resurrection Remix, Viper OS, Lineage 12, MIUI and everywhere Google Play Services crashes. As "whole m2 development is dead now" there is no hope that this will be solved.
At the end I installed AOSP 8.1 and it all working fine.:fingers-crossed:
Let me check it and find a solution for this. I will remind you guys what we can do to use it without issues if i found some. M2 is a secondary phone for me now. So let me try.
Updated first post with a possible solution
Uninstall the update (google & google play services), and turn off "auto update" on play store. Hopefully it can help.

Could you specify exactly which open gapps version you used (5.0-9.0?, nano/pico?)
And did you install open gapps on the Lineage OS you already had flashed on or onto stock ROM?

I installed OpenGapps Micro (of the 1st of August 2018) on Lineage OS
Solution:
1. Install 4.5.4I firmware
2. Root your device
3. Unlock bootloader
4. Install twrp 3.2.1
5. Flash AOSP 8.1 Rom
6. Flash arm64 8.1 micro gapps
Working all fine. Good luck.

Hey, I have a few questions regarding this.
Does FlymeOS 6.2.0.0G (or 6.3.0.0A for that matter) not work at all with open gapps?
Is there a point to install that instead of AOSP 8.1?
I still use FlymeOS stock 4.5.4l and I don't know why it would be more beneficial to use AOSP instead of a recent version of stock FlymeOS.
Does AOSP 8.1 have a lot of bugs?
I checked its forum page, it seems quite a lot of things are broken.
The ones that mostly concern me are the battery problems (though I have battery issues with the stock 4.5.4l FW currently as well), bad headphone sound quality, no navbar and sensor issues. Can you confirm that those are still present or has been fixed since?

Do you happen to have a mirror? It downloads extremely slowly. If not, I'll try downloading it now and will mirror it here when it's finished.
EDIT:
Nevermind, found a mirror on the flyme forums:

Hi, I am the one that posted the mega link but you will have to rename it as update.zip I had to change the name to make it more clear in my mega account sorry about that.
I recently acquired a T380 to use for reading, music & some movies. I tried to install Netflix on it but the app keeps crashing saying "app is not compatible with this device". I have tried different versions of the app with the same outcome. It is running Oreo 8.1 with the April 2019 security patch. The netflix guy had me looking for a setting in Play store, Play Protection Certification". I do not have that setting. Any ideas?
Pat Callaghan
you need a specific version!
this tablet does not has google play protect nd without that offcial netflix app won,t work!
i have the same tablet.
you will need this version.
4.16.1 build 15145
You need to sideload and have an xapk installer.
Hello all, I am researching this series of samsung tablets & i want to know if it would be possible to install a LineageOS + MicroG services?
I see that the device has multiple LineageOS Roms up & running already, but in particular I need MicroG..
Has anyone tested this device series with MicroG?
I do not want google on my devices, hence the questions..
I appreciate any feedback,
Thanks
I'm using los16 and I've got microg working with YouTube vanced but that's as far I've gone as I've got gapps installed too.
I've tried and failed to completely replace gapps with microg in the past but that wasn't on my tabs2.
I'd be interested to hear if you manage it though.
I have this exact combo. Tab S2 with LineageOS 16 official + microG. I didn't install GApps, but I did install the Aurora store client to get a couple paid apps from Google Play. With Magisk, I can run all the streaming services that I use (netflix, hulu, prime, disney).
Hi,
I have installed the official lineageos-18.1 and opengapps 11 on my S5 (G900F). For some strange reason, I can only install an old version of the youtube app from the play store (14.31.50 from 2019), which only works once before asking to be updated. Functionality can be restored by clearing data but this is not sustainable. Has anybody seen this and can this problem be fixed? Thanks!
It's only very recently that this version of YouTube has stopped working. I think the Play Store just doesn't serve newer versions to the S5, but you can probably sideload newer versions.
I use YouTube Vanced, the current version of which works fine on the S5, but the current versions of that are broken with Chromecast. Apart from that, it works fine for playing videos.
Around the same time as your post, someone on Reddit encountered the same issue on a Note 3. They resolved it by installing an APK - presumably from one of those mirror sites?
And finally, here's an issue on the LineageOS issue tracker which may be worth a read: YouTube app is not getting update.
Thanks for the link to the bug. I did try sideloading the apk and it did work, but it is not really sustainable in the long run. I will keep looking.
Any news on this? The same thing happens to me on LOS 18.1 and an Galaxy S4 LTE (GT-I9506).
Fixed by installing a newer version off of apkmirror.com, not really a good (=permanent) fix though.
