Google Backup is not working nor enabled. #22

Closed josteink closed 11 years ago

josteink commented 11 years ago

As reported on XDA:

GoogleBackupTransport doesn't appear to be working/recognized/installed. Backup & reset > Backup account is greyed out. This was briefly an issue on CM9 where GBT was not inclued in Gapps. That's not the case here. GBT is in the latest Gapps and is also present at /system/app/GoogleBackupTransport.apk.

Another Gapps-related issue? It should be fairly quick to test if different gapps produces different behaviour here, and if so, find the diff which makes a difference.

Also seem to be having this issue along with tablet now not appearing in Google play on the web site. Play store works fine on the tablet but won't show up an account in the backup section of settings.

Tried wipe /system, installed latest nightly (20130319) and OP gapps, wipe cache etc and re setup Google accounts.

Guess I should try another gapps?

josteink commented 11 years ago

Yeah. Definitely.

If that fixes it, we know our Gapps is missing something, or has some issues.

davebuk commented 11 years ago

Running 20130301 4.2.2 gapps from: http://www.teamandroid.com/gapps/ allows a google account to be chosen as a backup account. Front camera works as photosphere is not included.

Tablet hasn't yet shown up in the play store but that maybe a different issue? I'll post back if it does.

davebuk commented 11 years ago

Tablet has appeared back on google play web site.

josteink commented 11 years ago

Well that was fast. I think that almost amounts to a fix.

davebuk commented 11 years ago

I spoke too soon :-) Camera only seems to work when plugged into the keyboard dock and even then it still has issues with force closing and hanging randomly.

Out of the dock its the same old 'gallery' crash in any camera mode.

Maybe you can extract the backup bits out of these gapps for your gapps with working camera?

josteink commented 11 years ago

I think we can be about 100% certain that issue is related to gapps at least.

I'll see what I can do about cooking up a new package.

josteink commented 11 years ago

Bugger. Rapidshare had a clean up on free accounts today. All the 4.2.x gapps are gone.

Any way you can get me that gapps-zip? ;)

davebuk commented 11 years ago

Try the mirror. If not I'll get it to you. After a reboot camera is working 100% on and off the dock. :-)

Managed to snag a copy. Great work. I've mirrored them on nexfiles just in case.

Do we know what the last working GoogleBackupTransport.apk is? Has anyone tried to swap it into the latest gapps and flash?

josteink commented 11 years ago

Not yet, but if no one beats me to it, I was thinking about looking into that when I have some time tomorrow.

davebuk commented 11 years ago

IF the fact the tablet stops appearing in the PLAY store web site is connected to the GBT.apk, my tablet was there around 4-5 March when I was setting up my Nexus 4. I only looked at this issue when looking at the issue list and realised my tablet was missing from the PLAY website.

At a guess, sorry Josteink, it may have been your camera fix gapps that caused an issue with the GBT? The .apk is listed under /system but if I try and install, it fails. Using the gapps from above, GBT is shown running in the 'ALL APPS' list of running apps.

No need to be sorry. You are doing valuable research and testing. Should I add you as a contributer yet? Github seems to think you are contributing ;)

That said, APK's already in /system shouldn't need to be installed, but should already be installed. Might be a permissions issue? Or it might be version incompatiblities.

Using the gapps from above, GBT is shown running in the 'ALL APPS' list of running apps.

So we have a simple, verifiable way to determine if it is installed correctly. Superb.

So like I said: I'll take a deeper look at this tomorrow. Hopefully this (and the other market issue) should get resolved pretty quickly :)

davebuk commented 11 years ago

Camera still fully working today in and out of the dock. The only thing that crashes is when you try to use the front camera as a video camera in the stock app. Both cameras work fine in video mode in Skype app though. :-)

josteink commented 11 years ago

Ah well. I don't want to introduce any regressions so I'll make sure to test that as well. Thanks for reporting!

josteink commented 11 years ago

Note to self: Attempt extracting working gapps from Nexus-devices or from other ROMs which already has them baked in.

josteink commented 11 years ago

Ok. So far I've managed to cook together one gapps-package based on the latest found on goo.im. I've tested against the following former Gapps-realted issues:

Works:

Not confirmed fixed:

Confirmed still not working:

So even if this should fix the Play Store issue, this is by no means a complete fix. In the meantime, do feel free to try it and report back.

Package can be found here.

josteink commented 11 years ago

This gapps package works for me and solves this issue, so I just published it in the main gapps folder.

Considering this one closed, despite the other two issues remaining.
