Android 6

[Garry Deakin]

Hi

I have installed android 6 onto my old Asus EEEPC that previously had Android 5 on, I continually get an error message when trying to set up that states Unfortunately, Google Play services has stopped.

I installed fine onto another laptop though using the same media.

Any ideas on this ?

Thanks

Hi,

after you finish setup, you should get asked to grant all permissions to Google Play Services. After that the message should not appear.

Hmm,I'm having the same issue on my Dell Optiplex 755 but i'm not sure whats causing this error to always pop up... I try to bypass the "Checking Info" without connecting to Wifi and after i'm out of the setup screen when I try to open an app lets say "Google Play Store" or the default browser that came with it comes up with both "Unfortunately, Google Play services has stopped." and Unfortunately, Browser has stopped. It happens with almost all the apps pre-installed.

[Derek Yu]

I didn't get asked to grant permission to anything. Just in the middle of checking, Google Play Services stop and it rewind back to ask Wifi connection again.

[Garry Deakin]

I tried all these things too, skipping the wifi and going back.

I also tried to run from the installation CD instead of installing - same problem.

Worked ok on a different laptop though so maybe its a hardware issue ?

Yes, a known issue for devices without a supported GPU.

The bad news is OpenGL ES 2 seems a mandatory requirement
of the marshmallow prebuilt webview.apk which is used by
Google Play Service and many other apps.
That means you are almost unablt to use android 6.0
if your GPU is not supported.

Except trying to support more GPUs as we can,
I don't see other solution yet.

I saw the same issue, but I was able to get past it by disconnecting from the network before skipping the wifi connections again.

Hope that helps!

OffTopic: What Asus EEEPC are u using?

[Garry Deakin]

I think its the 1005HA SeaShell - just trying to breathe life back into an older piece of kit that I dont want to dispose off its still useable :-)

[Garry Deakin]

Is there anyway to tell what GPU is in my netbook ?

Best bet is to boot from some Linux LiveCD (on a USB stick, probably) and use
the command "lspci".

is there a list of supported GPU ?

I am going to run GPU-Z and see what is in the machine !

OK according to GPU-Z the GPU is i945GME rev 3.  Is this GPU supported ?  If not, is there any plans to support it ?

Thanks

This one should be supported.

Please provide logcat for further analyzing.

Hmm, apparently Android 4.0 and above requires OpenGL ES 2.0[1][2]. 

Is it not actually enforced by most applications until Marshmallow, or is there some software rendering support for OpenGL ES 2.0 in the earlier Android-x86 releases?

In other words, is there hope for Marshmallow Android-x86 in VMware / VirtualBox / Hyper-V?

Well you can add GTX 770 on not supported ( its boot, but acceleration is not working and its freez machine, you cant even change wallpaper LOL ).

[Garry Deakin]

Hi

Im happy to provide any support logs to try and resolve it, Android isnt that familiar to me yet though, can you give me some step by step instructions and I will happily post them when completed.

Thanks

The software renderer only support ES 1.x, not 2.0.
Not all apps requires ES 2.0, so we are still able to run
these apps on a software rendering only device.
But the webview.apk of marshmalow now enforces ES 2.0.
So any app (including Google Play Service) using it will just crash.

That depends what "hope" you meant.

In short term, we may need to find a way to workaround
the GLES2 requirement of webview.apk.
I'm not sure if it's possible now.

In long term, we still hope to enable GLES 2 support for VMs.
But that needs more experts to join.
Currently the Mesa porting for VMware does work but buggy.
Just need some experts to fix the remaining bugs
to make it usable.

Thanks.
GLES libs loaded and work, fine.
However, the gms crashed in GpuThread.
No idea what's wrong yet.

you should grant all permissions for Google Play Services, then it wont go wrong.

I've been trying to add gapps, to Android-x86 Marshmallow, and ran into the same sorts of errors.

I found the following links, that refer to a problem with AOSP sourced ROMs, and permissions, needed, for gapps.  These may or may not help.

Discussion of the issue...

https://github.com/opengapps/opengapps/wiki/Notes-for-Android-6.0

Possible patch?

https://github.com/TeamExodus/frameworks_base/commit/9c36be651e83fb039a262682839bd920b033007a

Following on from this Open GApps bug discussion.

[spin877]

I recompiled with the patch DefaultPermissionGrantPolicy.java now the situation is much improved.

Thank you for the tip.

P.S

I forgot. I came to put on android_x86 6.0.1 Supersu

BETA-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550.zip

just rename su.pie in su

[Gökhan Çokşen]

Yes, i experienced the same issue. But interestingly, it doesn't happen every time. Your chance is %50.

When i got the error, i tried to go back to first screen (Language selection). I selected the English. In 2nd trying i didn't get that error. I could use the Youtube, Google Play, Browser and other internet relating apps.

I don't know if it is work for everyone, but worked for me.

[Garry Deakin]

How do I edit the file ?

Can we put step by step instructions on there as I am not too familiar with Android, and apologies if the steps are already there and I have just missed them :-

Thanks

[Michael De Rubertis]

Thank you this worked!
