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?

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
I was playing the game 8 Ball Pool made by Miniclip and one day the app froze and my phone, so I was only able to go to the power menu and restart.
Once it did, I tapped on the game and my phone said app is not installed. So I went to play store to download again and it gave an error saying something like "Couldn't Install On USB Storage Or SD Card". And when I tried to install by downloading the apk from another source it says: x application not installed".
I've tried things I searched on google like: Unmounting my usb drive, clearing data from all my google apps and the download manager, I've even flashed a new KitKat rom for my HTC Vivid. I still get the same problems.
The same exact thing happened to me. Have you found a solution yet? Ive tried everything you have and still nothing!
i'm unable to install '8 ball pool ''apk'' , however im able to install it from playstore.

un-mount your sd card install game remount card
cant post url to directions
Device: Samsung SCH-i509
Android Ver: 2.3.6
Rooeted: Yes
Internal Memory: 160MB
Ext memory: 2GB microSD partitioned as: 1st Partition: 1455MB FAT, Second Partition: 515 EXT2 (I am using Link2SD for linking apps to SD card)
Superuser App: SuperSU
Rom Management: RomToolBox lite
I rooted my phone about a fortnight ago, first time rooting, things went fine, and apps were responsive.
2 days back I not only uninstalled the Google Play Store updates but also uninstalled the app, hoping I would install the latest google store APK from Android Police ( Ver: com.android.vending-4.8.22.apk )
I am new to rooting and installing apks, so after installing the above mentioned Google Play Store apk to the SD card and finding it was not responsive (I was getting a blank screen and an error message shortly thereafter which disappeared instantaneously for me to note what it said). I googled and found on a forum, (sorry don't recall which one) that the APK needs to be copied to the system/app folder and any previous apk of Google Play Store needs to be replaced. So using Root Browser in ROMToolBox I copied the apk to system/app.
Doing so did open the 'first run' of Google Play Store, as in I was prompted to allow permission via google account and opened the interface with my apps etc normally. But trouble started when I tried to update the apps. The moment I do that, I get the downloading bar AND then I get the force close screen. The same would happen in the case if I try to download any apps.
I froze the Google Play Store app through ROMToolBox App Manager.
On doing a search on XDA forums before I posted here I came across: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2129881
And did as suggested in this thread: went to the system/app folder through Root Browser and set permission to rw-r--r-- as suggested there.
UNFORTUNATELY things are the same as before: once the app fires up either by clicking on a Google Play Store linked ad or by just opening it, I am back to force close screen.
I would be really thankful if someone could help me out on this.
Also, I am not quite sure how much it makes a difference I was using Link2SD to link all user apps to SD card (I uninstalled this app as well hoping to install the latest version)
You rebooted after changing the apk permissions, right? Also perhaps try force stopping the plays store, wiping the app data then reboot.
Thanks

Thanks for the reply. I had rebooted and clear app data but the app was still unresponsive/
The issue resolved when I downloaded an older version of the Google Play Store app and installed it in the sys/app folder after removing the previous one, reconfigured the permissions and rebooted. things are working fine now.
Cheers, have a great weekend!
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.
Ok, so 3 days ago I had an issue where the YouTube app, when started, was loading the feed infinitely, I decided to go to Play Store and update google services, but the Play Store wouldn't load past the triangle logo.
I've downloaded the external apk and tried installing that, no result with "app not installed" message.
Next, I've tried deleting the Google Play Services (com....gms) and installing them again, but they wouldn't show up in the app list.
Next, I tried to flash the MIUI with ADB without wiping the storage, done that successfully but that didn't change anything.
I'm now trying to at least backup my photos via ADB and re-flash the MIUI with a full wipe. But even the com.android.backupconfirm.BackupRestoreConfirmation won't load for me to confirm backup via adb, it just opens on the phone as an empty window without rendering any output.
Please help guys, I'm really desperate, I'm in a warzone and don't have a lot of time do dig into this deeper =(
Ok, I fixed it =)
pulled out the storage with adb and re-flashed the MIUI
Peace!
