Play Store Download Apps - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

What decides if you auto download your previous apps when you fresh flash a ROM and gapps? The ROM or Google apps package?

It's a setting inside android. If you're running ics before flashing a new rom, it would be under settings-backup reset. If automatic restore is on, then the next time you flash a rom and connect to google it will download all of your apps. Uncheck it before flashing and it won't download your previous apps.

[Q] Default Gapps and google play stopped working

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] How to keep ATT/HTC apps from re-installing after installing GPe custom ROM

I just unlocked and rooted my device to install a Google Play Edition ROM. The ROM installed fine and it is great, but after the ROM was installed and booting the phone, the Google Play Store re-installs all of the HTC/ATT applications when re-installing all the applications I had installed on the phone. Is there a way to prevent this? This was the main reason I went to a GPe ROM so I wouldn't have all the bloatware from ATT/HTC. Is this possible or do I have to just go through and uninstall them all? I did a factory reset in TWRP before installing the ROM.

Did you use the "restore account" function when you were setting up your phone? Or whatever the restore function is. Perhaps Un-check that box, so you can decide in the play store which to install.
Yeah, if you like changing roms all the time it's annoying, but uncheck the back/restore apps and settings option when you sign into your Google account

Whenever you switch from a GPe ROM to a stock ROM it'll happen if you back up your apps and restore upon setup. I find it's easier to allow the google restore to take place; go into your accounts apps in the Play Store and click the x on each app you don't want backed up anymore (it'll ask if you want to remove it from your account, say yes). The next time you restore a GPe ROM (as an update, or a clean install for whatever reason) you won't get the extra apps installed by default. The next time you switch to a stock ROM, they won't autodownload, but you'll have to remove them from your account after setting up the stock ROM.
If you use a stock ROM that doesn't have the bloatware, this isn't even an issue.

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

Play Store installation issues.

Hello,
I recently shifted to 8.1 ROMs and in each ROM that I tried, I have the same bug: Apps I download (not update) from Play Store take a long time to install. Download completes but installation is the problem. I use MagisK 15.2 with MagisK hide turned on for Play Store and Play Services. I used unofficial GApps of different providers. If I restore back to ViperOS Nougat build, the apps install instantly though. I tried clearing cache of both Store and services but didn't help me either. Please help me.
Edit: I noticed that upon reboot, those apps appear in my phone. I can't just reboot for every single app installation.
Edit 2: I do think the new play services is the culprit. Because when it installs, the apps I install after it take more time to install.
