[Q] Google Play - bug! - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Got a real weird bug ^^ with Google Play...
If I try to install an app - the d/l will complete, but the app won't install...
To get the app to install I have to reboot ph
I've tried all manner of wipes for Google Play & Download Manager & Google Play Services... :FAIL:
I've even tried installing an older version of Google Play (via installer & copy+paste)... this just gets me a d/l that doesn't begin
Any ideas are welcome...
T.I.A
Specs: Rom = Omega v16.2 [JB 4.1.2]
PS - Bug present before LSJ mods & after (2x nandroids)

I doublt it is just a bug in google play. Maybe a combination of your rom and google play? I have never encountered this behaviour. So I don't think this is entirely a google play problem. Since you're running a custom rom, I suspect this has some part of the problem.

:mmm:
Well... well... well... 3x holes in the ground
Many others have had this issue ^^ :surprise:
A workaround fix is... to, uninstall Google Play updates (it has rolled back to 3.9.17)
as long as I don't launch Google Play from ph - I can install apps via PC (tried pc side install before this work around & it failed)
So, it would seem to be a Google Play issue & not the custom rom :victory:

I forgot the thread of gapps, but you can type on search button, type it, "latest gapps"
note: you must root your phone to install it

[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] Google Play does not open

Hi all,
I am new to this and sorry if I am repeating a thread. I have searched and haven´t really found my answer.
So I bought a Chinese phone with MTK6735 and Android 5.1. The phone does not come rooted.
The issue is that it does not come with Google Play or the GAPPS. I downloaded a copy of Google Play and installed it directly from the web browser of my phone. Now, when I click on the Play store, it doesn't really open, it's as if fails to load the app. (crashing immediately).
Can someone please advise?
Thanks
Download Google Play Services
All you need to do i download Google play services.
You can find the link by searching on Google.
Download the gapps .
Download the Gapps (search google)and flash it through recovery then it may work,i am not sure but i think it will work

Do I need to root the phone for it?
If you have recovery installed then i think not.

The Play Store crashes because it must be installed as a system app, and when you install it from an .apk it installs as a user app. It must be converted to a system app. But this requires root.
Sorry to bother again. I have tried with many methods and I still can´t.
I have tried downloading a google installer by Eric Xiang. This installed the Google frameworks and play services, but when I open Play store, it just tells me "Unfortunate, Google Play Services has stopped working". So, there's no way to open it.
Alternatively, I have tried to root it, and then install a recovery (as it was not installed by default). But here, I am having problems in rooting the device. I have tried with latest version of Kingroot and still failed. Not too sure, it may be because the device is with Android 5.1? or because the device has one of the latest Mediatek chips MT6735?

Again, you have to be rooted. Mediatek can be difficult. Sorry, but I am no help to you with this.

Google Play Store keeps crashing from fresh GB install of Xperia U (ST25i)

Hello,
I tried to go back to a GB official ROM (got some lags in ICS that didn't exist at all with GB), but I'm getting in trouble with Google Play Store.
Indeed, everything works perfectly on the phone, but when I want to download an app from Google Play store application, it keeps crashing (FC) after I accept terms and conditions.
This problem doesn't exist with a ICS official ROM. I don't know if it's because it's an "old" ROM, but I find this a bit silly that an "old" phone could not be used just because of an app malfunction.
I already tried a fresh install (wipe everything) and a "restore settings" from the settings menu.
I would like to know if I'm the only one to have this problem and if a fix exists.
My phone is BL FYI.
I found this but didn't tried yet : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1582422
Thanks for your help.

Honor 7 play - how to install google play

I have honor 7 play dua-al00. I want to install google play. After doing all the procedure google play fails
I have the same problems. Up till now I still cannot find a resolution. Can anyone here please advise? I downloaded and installed the latest suitable Google Service and Google Play Store. I ran the Google Play APP and it just crashed and closed. Urgent. Thank you.
Did u find a solution i have same peoblem
i have the same problem but i think its worth adding that i'm on android 8.1
and the issue isnt that google play doesnt install its thats once installed it wont download (and therefore not install) other apps.
i think the issue is that the system doesnt come up with the authorisation box to let playstore install apps (so doesnt recognise it as a store?).
if you install amazon store and try installing something from there, it asks if you want to let amazon store install apps, you click yes and it works. for some reason it doesnt do that with playstore. you either get stuck on app downloading but doesnt download or playstore shuts down.
play services, are updated manually from apkmirror otherwise you constantly get that gmail wont run without updating services first for example. update it manually and it works for a while.
sorry, probably also worth adding i'm on (and assume we all are who have this issue) on the chinese rom (messed up at purchase!) and an alternate fix would be if we could install a non chinese rom or a custom but doesnt look like these are available?
we still need a solution to this....
