I just flashed my Galaxy S Vibrant to Hellybean 4.2.1. The flash was successful but it did not install the Play Store. I've downloaded multiple different APKs for Play Store and they all install fine but do not run as expected.
Each time you launch the Play Store it comes up as if its going to work, but then the window 'minimizes' and goes away. If you check the running applications, Play Store is listed. This has happened now with three versions of Play Store, 3.10.10, 3.10.9, and 3.9.17.
Any help in getting Play Store running normally would be greatly appreciated.
I was able to resolve this by re-flashing Hellybean and then installing the GApps zip package linked in from this thread.
On a sidenote, my Vibrant runs so much faster with 4.2.1 than it did with 2.2 on it. Its a night and day difference almost.

Is it just me or has google lost most of its apps?
Or is there some restrictions on my note n7000 after the latest update??
Tried to search for temple run on Play Store but it didnt show the game app itself although its it already installed on my phone it should stillcbe there on the list.
And most of the apps even if its searchable it says application not compatible on my device. How come?
Is there anybody who can enlighten me regarding this situation? Thanks in advance.

Everything is fine until last play store update.
Up.
Help please.
I am not sure of this but when you upgraded to ICS, it consumed many resources from your devices like RAM. So I think now those apps cant run on your device. Dig some more u'll know actual problem.
Thanks though, but as what i've said Temple Run as for an example is already installed on my phone but when you view it on play store it says its not compatible on my device. Heck, i can even play chaos rings and all those high end games on my phone. The thing is, being on ICS is not the issue here since ive been on that firmware for months now and everything is ok until play store updated itself a few days ago.
I even tried removing playstore and installing it back, still the same.
by reinstalling play store i think you means gapps reinstalling right??
if no than reinstall gapps of your device.
Yes i flashed gapps again after removing it. But its still the same. Apps from play store are lesser than they were supposed to.
I can search most of the games using browser and can see the link at play store but it always says that its not compatible on my device even if most those apps are already installed on my phone.
Did the rom you flash or have you changed your lcd density? This will cause apps to be not compatable
I am on stock rom ICS 4.0.4. The only thing i flashed on my phone is kernel and gapps. Never tried to flash a rom.
And currently im on speedmod kernel 3-15.
Try market enabler
This solved my problem bro

Hello I am new to this forum,
I have a Rooted Galaxy S4 Mini, and I had a custom patch of the Play Store installed, but I just hated the icon and didnt notice any difference between the custom patch and the original version of the Play Store so I decided to go back to the original one and uninstalled the Custom one and installed the regular play store and when I did, I opened it and it started loading and showed me the Terms of Service once more but suddenly the little window with the Terms disappeared and the Play Store froze. Soon after it just crashed and a message saying it had stopped appeared. And this just repeats itself everytime I try to open it, It wont even let me tap accept or decline. I tried installing previous versions of the Play store and the same thing happens, tried clearing cache & data and reboot, didnt work, tried clear cache, data, then force stop and reboot and got nothing. tried doing this to Google Play Services, services framework and play store, nothing. I even tried uninstalling updates of Google Play services and all of this steps again. But nothing. And yes, my download manager is enabled. I was so desperate I decided to back everything up with Titanium backup and then I did a factory reset. When it turned on and I configured it, there was no Play Store in my apps. So I manually installed ES File Explorer and Titanium backup to restore my phone and my backup wasnt there unfortunately so I installed Play Store manually too and I got the same error! And now I got to personalize everything again and download all the stuff I had back in so it would be nice to at least get the Play Store working again, please help me!
Sorry for long post please give me some of your time and help me
Thanks
Hi Toby,
Welcome! Unfortunately, you're in the wrong forum. This forum is specifically for the Galaxy S4, Verizon version. If you go back to forums, you can look through the list and find a forum closer to your model.
That being said, I am not sure where this post should go. Maybe a moderator can point that out...
If no one comes to your aid, PM me and I'll send you a link to a Google Play Store zip file to install.
Thanks for your help and sorry about that I am new to this forum
I downloaded CM11 and the gapps package tonight. Play Store force closes every time I try to open it. This is causing a lot of issues, as other apps won't work unless I can get into Play Store to update Google Services Framework. I've tried all the "fixes" on google, I've installed CM 11 (4.4.2) on my Evo4GLTE. Installed the (I assume) correct gapps from the cm wiki, as well as the most recent Paranoid Android gapps. I can't get Play Store to open. I get "Unfortunately Google Play Store has stopped" no matter what. I've cleared cache/dalvik, reinstalled gapps, removed/re-added my google account, cleared cache/data on Play Store, Framework, download and download manager. Fresh install, no changes on my part other than basic setup stuff.
Can anyone help me? I've never had this much of an issue with Android before, and it's driving me insane.
Hi,
despite I modded some Android Devices (phones, ouya) I still feel I don't know much.
I got my HDX 7" when Amazon offered them for 100 bucks 1,5 years back. I found 3 guides to get another Rom and think none were 100% correct/actual (HDX exposed didn't do anything for me) but with the mixture of the information I could get and alternate ROM and play store luckily not bricking it.
Now if my play store version got an updated I could not go into play store anymore and just got a wide screen. If I deactivated play store in settings/apps it said it wenn back to the original version. Now I could use play store again and install apps. But some apps like YouTube would start running until I get the uptodate version of play store. So most time I ran those apps with the newer play store version and only when I need to get a new app from the store and deactivated/downgraded it in the settings/apps. This went on for over an year.
Now it seems the play store is gone completely as it's not longer listed.
I found two gapps files (is the play store included in gapps? gapps-jb-4.2.2-signed.zip, gapps-jb-20130812-signed.zip) for 4.2.2 and copied them to the device via an FTP server and than install the zip via safestrap. On the first boot it asked me for my name and 2 or 3 other values. But there's still no play store. The other file didn't produce better results. I even saw that I still have a file called hdx-nexus-gapps-v1.2.zip. But this also didn't work.
Next file I found is Amazon-Fire-5th-Gen-Install-Play-Store.zip which is extracted on Windows and has it's own ADB. But this didn't help either.
When I start my hdx I now also get something like "Kindle gets updated ... pls wait" and it stays for >30s. I think I didn't see this before.
So any idea what I do wrong?
Should I get a new CM ROM? What would be the best way to install it.
So I thing it's a modified Nexus Rom. There a glowing neon X during boot up. I also have SafeStrap. Build Number is JDQ39; Kernel 3.4.0. Modelnumber KFTHWI. Android Version 4.2.2.
Since yesterday, Play Store on my device (Redmi Note 3 Android 6.0) stops working normally. It's like it can download apps, but just after it finish downloading, it sticks there and won't install. Installing apk files seems to be normal, just Play Store will take a very very very very long time to initiate the installation. It's like an hour after it finish downloading only it starts to install it. I've attached an attachment that shows where at stucks at. Same goes to installing new apps and updating apps.
I've tried clearing data for Play Store, Download Manager, cleared cache for Play Services, uninstalled updates for Play Store and installing the latest one, removing Google account and readd, restarting and all, seems like when it stucks there my phone is a bit laggy.
I've Google it but all I found is when it won't even start downloading. This doesn't seem to be that case. So anyone experienced this before?
