[Q] Default Gapps and google play stopped working - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi .. I recently upgraded my phone xperia mini pro SK17i 's software from GB to ICS 4.0.4 and rooted my phone.
After rooting i installed Titanium backup and remove a few what i thought were unnecessary apps from my phone .
I think i also deleted the google.download.manager.apk i'm not sure but i cannot see this service in my "ALL APPS" (APP Manager) Its not at the bottom or disabled its just not there.
Since then i keep getting gapps stopped working and Google play stopped working .
i have tried
1. Rebooting (multiple times)
2. Clearing cache/clearing data for Play
3. un-installing /Re Install play
4. Download goomanager and downloading latest gapps packed and flashed the zip
5. Delete gmail account and restart and add account again.
Also i don't think there is prob in Google sync...
and checked out all the sites and forums for solution ... i still haven't gotten any solution to this.
i saw in a few places about QtADB and new ROM..but i have abs no clue about what it is or how to go about it
I jst want the Google download manager back and Google Play to work...
I have downloaded a new download manager for now. But was wondering if i can get back Google download manager without have to to do a factory reset.

First: You can ask these questions (for more response) in your phone section which can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2054
Second: Wipe /system and flash ROM and GAPPS reboot phone and set it up then reboot again.. Should work now.

[Q] gapps crashing

Hey guys,
So after exhausting all my ideas, can anyone offer help for my current problem?
I own an Xperia S tablet, rooted but cant unlock bootloader, which was running fine up until yesterday. Now I am getting crashes when trying to sync google accounts and play store is saying no connection. The specific pop ups are com.process.google (or along those lines) google drive and gmail have stopped working.
This is on every sync however gmail still works fine as does drive.
I have tried various solutions myself which are:
1) factory reset
2) reinstalled playstore through lucky patcher (all unmodified originals from various versions)
3)checked date/time to be correct
4) disabled/enabled download manager
5) went into system root and reinstalled apks for related apps
6) tried more than one account, same issue
7) reset app preferences
8) force stopped store and services and cleared all data
can anyone else please suggest a way to fix the problem? I have run out of ideas since the tablet is locked bootloader i cant easily reflash gapps.
EDIT: just forcibly deleted my old google services system apk and replaced with my phones version and reset, had no effect after cleaning all caches and dalvik.

[Q] ArchiDroid 2.2.4 cannot install GMaps anymore

Hello,
atfer i updated from ArchiDroid 2.2.3 to 2.2.4 i saw that GMaps wasnt shown in the Launcher anymore, so i checked and it isnt even installed on my device.
When i try to install it from the Play Store i get the Error Code: Incompatible with other applications(s) using the same shared user ID
So i tried to flash the latest GApps package for CM but still GMaps isnt showing up.
Does anybody know how i can fix this problem?
Regards,
Fixi
Same Problem
Have got exactly the same problem using ArchiDroid V1.7.3, issue was mentioned in the Develpoment section but the only solution offered was to wait a few hours until Google Play recognises the phone.
The rom been installed for several days now & I'm still unable to install G Maps from the store due to the ID issue, short of reinstalling the rom has anybody got any thoughts?
Thanks...
Hey.
You can download inverted GMAPS directly from my github -> https://github.com/JustArchi/ArchiD...system/app/com.google.android.apps.maps-1.apk then put into /system/app. Otherwise make sure that there's no uninstalled junk left in /system/app and /data/app directories. You can also clear google store's data. Eventually if everything fails you can full wipe and make sure to UNTICK google maps in aroma (if you don't want inverted version), it's unticked in the default configuration.
Let me know if you have further problems.
Have fun with ArchiDroid.
All Done
Many thanks for the info Archi, worked perfectly. Love the Rom, super smooth... :victory:

{Q} Gionee GN305 Failed to wipe data and Flash didn't change the system operation.

I'm sorry if i post my thread in wrong sub forum.
I have Himax Pure 1 or same as Gionee GN305. I have changed my Rom with Lewa 5 Custom Rom and repartition my internal storage. it works well for 3 weeks. until i download new game. when i tried to play the game, i need to log in with my Gmail account, somehow the google play stop working (error message). it's annoying although i've closed the game. so i uninstall the update of google play and it works, my phone runing well until i need to open my old game, it need the newest google play, so i update the google play and it start to error again.
I've tried to wipe factory reset, wipe cahce, wipe dalvick. and reinstall the new costum rom. but somehow it's not working, still runing the old broken rom. (i did it in twrp). in my hh recovery there is no wipe system or data. or i just don't know where is it.. but i've tried go to every menu but found nothing.
i've tried to install mobile uncle or uninstall any app, but i can't, the hh always restart and the error messages always shown.
the error message not only about the google play, also the process of gapps, other app, launcher etc
i've tried using flash tool that i used when first time i install my first custom rom. but still loaded the lewa rom that have been broken.
any advice to help my phone? i love this phone.. have lots of memories on it
thanks you

Can't use PlayStore anymore after flashing a rom

Hi,
I recently bought a le max 2 from GB with Gapps and multi-language and everything was working perfectly, but i wanted to update the phone, so i decided to install the stock chinese rom (eui 5.9.021s) through the stock recovery. Now, when I try to open the PlayStore it always stops and closes. Furthermore almost all my Gapps (YouTube, gmail, play games, play music...) seems to be installed (when I go to the options they result as installed) but I can't see them anywhere. I have already tried to uninstall and re-install it, but I have this problem as well.
Can someone help me please?
That is the problem of the Le Max 2. You have to go to app management, uninstall all the problematic apps manually and then reinstall them again.
Thanks for your answer!
Your method works for most of gapps (for example if I uninstall gmail and then install it again its icon will appear) but it's not the same for PlayStore... I tried to uninstall and re-install it but it doesn't work(there's its icon but i can't open it). I thought it could be a problem of Google play services but i can't even uninstall it.
Another strange thing I noticed is that when I click on the PlayStore it immediately pops up a message that says that PlayStore stopped working but it keps running in the background and it closes just when I Press a button ("ok" or "cancel") of the message that doesn't allow me to use it.
Have you got any advice for me about this issue?
I recommend to install via custom recovery, eg. TRWP.
Download your gapps package here:
http://opengapps.org
After than, flash it via custom recovery.
100% working method!

That's the problem of the phone, it wouldn't let some apps, particularly the system apps, to be uninstalled completely. When you try to reinstall the apps on top of the existing one, problem arises. Now, I am unable to get the IR Remote Control working again. If your phone is completely stock ROM and has not yet been rooted, back up all your apps and data, do a factory reset and reinstall them. If it still doesn't work, you might have to reinstall the apps via TWRP as rqzor99 suggested.
Thank you amowagou and razor 99 for the help you are giving me.
My phone has never been rooted and i have not installed any custom recovery (what's more this was the First time I tried to flash a ROM .
Probably if i do a factory reset, Google play services and the PlayStore will be deleted from my phone because the stock chinese ROM doesn't include them and then I could make completely new installation of them as amowagou said. Probably I'll try this solution because it allows me to have them without having to modify my phone.
As well I also apreciated the advice of razor.
(Obviously if someone else has other advises for me they are welcome!
I'll let you know if following amowagou's advice the problem will be solved
If you have stock ROM (your Chinese ROM) without Chinese market, called Lestore - there isnt another option, you have to flash gapps via custom recovery. Be careful with choosing package - arm or arm64 - TWRP tells you if you have wrong one and it will dont let you install it, no worries.
If you have Lestore in your stock ROM, just find gapps and install it.
Thats it

[Guide] How to fix any broken Play store

Hello everyone reading this!
I found out that no one really has a solution how to fix a broken play store. Many people are saying "reinstall it" or "factory reset your phone" but this wasn't really a solution for me.
Reinstalling only did it worse because then i kept getting a "Play store stopped working" popup so after a week of trying things i finally found the solution.
So if you don't have Play store anymore or it just stopped working then you should try this out!
First try these things and after that try the solution that is in green:
1. First uninstall substratum if you have it (it sometimes breaks the play store)
2. Try reinstalling the play store but get the apk from apkmirror because it's safe there and don't get the newest version. Get an little older version. I always take 13.x.xx. It has more success rate than 14.x.xx.
3. Try deleting dalvik cache
4. Try installing it as system by moving the apk to /system/app with the correct permissions (rw-r-r, root:root)
DON'T FORGET A NANDROID BACKUP IN THE GREEN SOLUTION!
​I accidentally deleted my Play store and couldn't reinstall it. This was the only solution that worked for me. You CAN use it on a stock rom where play store and play services was preinstalled. It will still work.
FINAL SOLUTION​If these 2 things didn't work then go to the opengapps site, download the gapps app and open it. It should automatically select the correct things for your phone. In the variant select "Pico" and press download. After that hit install and it should send you to your custom recovery and it should automatically install it. You are basically done.
I hope i could help anybody. I literally searched a week for an solution and there weren't any. So i am the first to introduce the new way to fix the play store.​
