Hey guys!
After having some issues with the Netflix app of all the things, followed by low memory, Link2SD and a boot loop (which probably was cause by low memory) I managed to make the phone boot up again by diving into recovery (some CWM version by AlphaRev) and then wiping out cache data. When the phone finally booted up, which took unusually long time, I was missing a lot of apps and got some app crash warnings.
One of the missing apps was the Link2SD itself, and as a consequence (I guess), many of the other apps were missing for this reason (at least those that were linked to the SD card as opposed to installed there by default).
One of the warnings that popped up was one about Google Services Framework.
The application Google Services Framework has stopped working (process com.google.process.gapps) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

Another one was about Facebook.

There were several different app crashes in a row, like on a production line. I was unable to see the names of them all.
I went into app management, cleared caches and uninstalled several apps. I rebooted, booted up (slowly again), I got back some of the app icons that were missing (which is weird) and I was able to launch them. But some apps were still missing, among them Link2SD.
I grabbed an APK file for some older version of Link2SD on my computer, plugged in the phone, launched a command prompt and tried installing it with ADB. It reported insufficient storage space. I checked it and it said like 1.80 MB free internal memory. So I uninstalled some more apps and tried again and it was a success.
After installing Link2SD I launched it and then chose to clean up Dalvik cache, clean up 2nd partition, and then "relink library files". I tried the "recreate mount scripts" but it kept on failing.
Mount script cannot be created. failed

Right now I have Gmail, and I have the Search. I don't think I have any other Google app (except for maybe some background services). I only have a broken Play Store icon/link on the home page.
How can I check and verify that Google Services Framework is installed and working? And if it's not, how do I repair or reinstall it?
What I have tried so far:
I tried grabbing an APK file for Google Services Framework from another thread here at XDA and installing it manually with ADB. It was a no go. This is the message I got.
INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK

What does this mean?
I read in another thread here at XDA that one user was unable to make phone calls after uninstalling this service by mistake. I tried this and I was able to place a call. Does that mean that Services Framework is Okay?

Update:
I just grabbed and manually installed Playstore v4.0.27.apk successfully using ADB. But if I try to launch it I get a "sorry" message.
The application Google Play Store (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

I can only force close it.
I need a way to either install apps right on the phone (Play Store), or a way to grab APK files for the apps I want to install (like backup apps) and install them manually, because there is still some personal data on the phone that needs to be saved before I pull the plug and flash the entire phone.
Did you find a solution for this?
I have the same issue with my phone for about almost a week. I didnt know that google service framework was a big issue and a built in program. I accidentally deleted it same with my google play store with my rooted device. When I reformat my phone it keeps telling or it keeps showing com.google.process.gapps is not working. Pls help me fix this kind of issue im dealing with
Hi,
A couple of days ago, (stupidly) I decided that I wanted more internal memory space so I ended up deleting and reinstalling Google Play, as the Convert To User App option within Link2SD didn't work as it said something about can't finding Certificates; something like that.
Anyway so now when I go to install an application, it simply crashes and doesn't work. It loads fine; just doesn't download anything.
I've tried clearing Data & Cache for both the Google Play Application and the Download Manager Application.
Any ideas?
EDIT: Had to push it back onto the System Side. I'm sure I remember being able to install it onto my SD Card before?
It is some time now that I cannot (mainly) update app: the phone, after downloading apk from store and starting installation, says the available free space is not enough.
If I remove the app, the I can install it without problems.
This does not happen for all apps and, in facts, does not seem related to app size: larger app (25Mb) get updated without problems whereas smaller ones have the error.
My phone is a SGS2 with latest stock JB ROM.
I have:
53MB free on ROM
221MB free on internal
1.64GB free on media (internal SD)
3.30GB free on (external) SD
Moreover I had this same problem with Tapatalk Pro I purchased some months ago: even if I uninstall it and then try to install it back from the store, I get the same error message.
Time ago I had similar problem because of some files belonging to an app that cannot be automatically deleted or overwritten; after manually deleting those files, the error went away, but I don't know what files to look for, and I don't really know if the problem is the same....
What do you suggest?
OK, so this problem came up today in the middle of trying to find a working move to SD app. Basically, on the play store, it gives me a message for a few apps that there is "insufficient space available." (it will download it first, then give me the error trying to install) and I get the same message trying to remote install from a computer. If I try downloading from the Playstore as an APK file and side loading I get an error:
Out of Space
____ couldn't be installed. Free up some space and try again.
This doesn't happen to all apps. Just most apps which require a root. It's behaving strangely like a virus, so I am worried that Verizon had some additional programs on the device to make it more difficult to do anything with it.
Of course, I have 22.35 GB available internal and 109 GB available external. I cleared the cache, I uninstalled and reinstalled Google Play, I power cycled the device (turned off and on), and I am not really sure what I can do about it.
If I backup the DRM keys, flash a custom ROM, and then delete the Verizon apps, can I flash to a custom ROM that isn't branded by Verizon and still restore the DRM keys to it?
EDIT: It's gotten much worse. Most apps I try now won't install. They will download just fine, but then at the "Install" point they give that error.
EDIT 2: Problem resolved. It was caused by all of the failed rooting attempts. Titanium Backup/Restore and a Factory Reset with only Easy Root fixed everything.
i have a Galaxy Mini with Gingerbread. Rooted. I was having trouble with disk space so i used a root uninstaller to remove a bunch of bloatware on a fresh install of Gingerbread. I still was unable to install more apps and was still getting a low disk space warning upon startup. So i uninstalled the uninstaller app and a couple other apps i had installed (titanium and ROM toolbox) and cleared cache in recovery. i no longer get told at startup that i have low space, but Play Store wont let me install anything. it won't even let me install the uninstaller app or the other two apps that i had. According to storage, i have 18mb left, which i know isn't a lot. But i don't understand how i was able to have some apps before, but can no longer install them again?
Not sure what other info you might need.
It also wont let me update existing apps.
