Can you try toggling on the location permission in Settings -> Apps? These problems seem to happen in 6.0 when gapps is flashed after the OS is installed. It seems like a bug in the gapps bundles rather than a bug in the ROMs.

You might not have added it for the right application. I really don't think this class of permission issues is related to the ROM. It's just how Android 6.0 works. Google Play Services assumes it has permissions but it doesn't if it's not bundled with the ROM. It likely works better if it's installed from the start before the OS is ever booted.

If userdata was from before gapps was installed, you'll need to manually enable the permissions for the gapps apps until it works. This applies to every ROM without Google Play built-in, not just CopperheadOS. Nothing that can be done about it without being a Google Partner from our end.

Do they need to have all the permissions enabled? or just location?

Any of the permissions that they complain about. It's more than just location.

If it's bundled from the start, then they likely get all the permissions enabled. So they're written with the assumption that they have all the permissions and can't handle Marshmallow's dynamic permission system as third party apps with API level >= 23 must do.

Alright, will go ahead and try all permissions..

You need to look at the processes that are running, then cause the error to trigger and add it for the app that crashes due to the missing permission. It's clear that there's a missing permission from the log.

And you'll need to do that whenever this comes up, which it will since gapps was installed after the initial boot of the OS (reinstalling the OS without wiping userdata won't change that).

If gapps is installed before the initial boot (as in the initial time that userdata is used) then I don't think the problem will occur. It's the reality of gapps bundles with Android 6.0, not a CopperheadOS issue. You'll find lots of people with similar problems in /r/CyanogenMod, etc.

Okay, still looking. This did not occur on ChOS pre-AOSP nor CM

The same permission issues with gapps did exist there.

I mean there was no problem installing apps from the play store. Did you notice this bit in the log?:

The relevant error appears to be this: 12-19 21:00:06.392 3746 4316 E UploaderService: java.lang.SecurityException: "passive" location provider requires ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission. So you need to fix that before looking into other possibilities.

After re-restricting the permissions to try to narrow down what's needed, Play Store doesn't want to connect at all.. even after loosening permissions again (and rebooting). Will try to see what's going on.

Edit: Permissions were set to match those in CM

Edit2: It decided to work now..
