Okay so, ive tried every 6.0 ROM on the Shield forum for my portable and they all seem to have app crashing issues with the 6.0.1 pico Gapps (Setup, Play services, framework, play store all crashing, boot loops etc.)
I noticed i dont get these crashing errors whenever i boot the ROMs with no Gapps.
I spent hours and days researching why the crashing happens and ive seen things from "outdated/corrupted SU binary" to "incorrect permissions for 6.0.1 gapps" and i still dont know the cause.
SO i figured id try the apk route. i went to a certain APK site (not sure if we can link those) and grabbed every version for each gapp to see if i could get any of them installed. I found out when theres a corrupted app or incompatible app, android OS doesnt show the image for said APK/APP so i was able to weed out which apps would work.
Linked here are the apks i used to get the MM roms working with google/google apps again.
Install the PICO 6.0 GAPPS and then these APKs after getting into the OS to get going
The Pico-Apps are gonna make the initial boot time longer-- dont worry just let it load everything up (sometimes i had to button mash the shield button & home buttons to get past the boot animation-- sometimes it works and idky)
after installing all of the APKs, reboot the system, the OS is gonna initialize your apps again, might do it twice. after that youre good to go.
