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

Hi,
I am new to the forum and new to rooting/flashing mods as well. I have the AT&T version of the Galaxy S2. I just recently rooted and flashed the most recent CM9 nightly on my phone and everything worked great except a, what i hope to be, minor issue. When I first rebooted my phone after the flash, everything looked great but It was apparent my GAPPS zip had not installed correctly as I couldn't see my e-mail or the Play Store (obviously I'm needing to recover things). I re-flashed GAPPS, rebooted, and I saw the Play Store and my e-mail. My problem is when I opened the Play Store, it got stuck on the sign-in. It eventually signed in, I guess (my account has a check by it if I select "manage accounts"). SO, i'm signed in but nothing is loading. I cannot do any searches or retrieve apps. Baiscally, I can't use the Play Store. My phone works fine, otherwise, and it seems the rom flashed cleanly. I followed every instruction very carefully. Please help! I need to retrieve my backup from Titanium and use the market. Don't even have my wi-fi at this point! Thank you in advance if someone can respond quickly.

Post in Q/A subforum next time.
Try Settings -> Applications -> Google Play Store -> click both clear cache and clear data. If that doesn't work you could always try reflashing.
Now it's having trouble upgrading from "market" to "Play Store". When I go to settings > apps > running, it appears and disappears and I cannot edit anything in it =\. I just re-flashed and I did so without wiping data, is this correct? Should I move this to the sub-forum, or can you just help me out?
I would think a reflash without wipe should be okay, but who knows. I would say close the app manually, try clearing data and cache again, launch once, sign in when prompted and let it load the home page. Then exit the app and don't touch the app for a few mins. I've found that letting it settle by not touching it for a few mins as it tries to update will allow it to update correctly, you'll see the icon change to the play store. Again, if that doesn't work, then do a full wipe and flash again.
P.S. I'm no expert on this subject, just suggesting things to try.
So I have AOKP on my galaxy nexus 4.0.4. I made a back up and installed there JB AOKP to try it out. Lasted about 1.5 hrs. Then I restored with my CWR Backup. I made this back up on June 30. After I restored there was 3 apps thats didnt saw I purchased them when I did on friday. I have google checkout to prove it. I used titanium to restore the 3 missing apps but now in the play store it dont show them under MY APPS. Only when I search for them it shows them. What could cause this and how do I fix it? Theres no way I should have to buy them all over again. The werid thing is titanium worked fine and showed purchased in the play store but the other 3 apps didnt. Maybe its because I purchased titanium yesterday right before the i flashed JB AOKP. The other 3 were on friday.

go to titanium, and fix the market link of the three apps
I couldnt find that as a option. titianm is not as simple as my back up pro.
not working. i go to menu then market tools then market auto updates and it find the 3 apps. but it still dont show in play store. i think im ging back to myback up pro. was 10 times easier to use.
just "buy" them again from market, you won't be charged a second time
Maybe.....

I know this is kinda old but every time I try to download an app that I've purchased it doesn't show up as being purchased, and prompts me to buy it again. I tried just buying one of them again just to see what would happen and it gave me an error message saying I already owned the app, but it would not install. I've tried clearing cache/data, I've tried clearing the cache/dalvik cache via TWRP, I've tried installing an older version of Google play, I've tried clearing the cache/data for Google play services, I've tried factory resetting my phone twice, I've tried remotely installing the apps through Google play on a computer (it just says an unexpected error has occurred) I've tried deleting my Google account from the device and signing back in, and absolutely nothing seems to work. I'm on a OnePlus 5 running OxygenOS 5.1.1 (Android version 8.1) and I'm rooted using Magisk. I'm gonna try wiping the phone and reflashing the OS later today so I'll let you know how that goes but any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

What worked for me with a similar issue was removing Google play store completely (with a root file manager or in twrp), reboot and then flash gapps again. After that the play store was working fine again.
P.s. the path to play store is /system/priv-app/phonesky
At least on my Android 8.1 device.

I just tried that, and when it didn't work I went through with re-flashing the operating system all together and I'm now running stock and it's STILL not working so I'm officially at a loss... Thank you for your suggestion though I actually hadn't thought of that.
I just rooted my Viper today, i deleted some bloatware, & now my Google Play Store isn't really working properly. It force closes!
I deleted Sprint ID, Google Wallet, Google Maps, Tags, Nascar, basically all the pointless apps that came with the phone..... Just uninstalled the actual apps, none of the foreground processes. The play store opens, shows my apps, but when I click to view the app, I get "THE APPLICATION GOOGLE PLAY STORE (PROCESS COM. ANDROID.VENDING) HAS STOPPED UNEXPECTEDLY. PLEASE TRY AGAIN" I've tried to uninstall & re-install the play store, but still get the same message.
Does anyone know how I could fix this problem???
Also, if i factory reset, will this affect my root or brick the phone? Did i loose the apps & their processes permanently?
Update your profile and prl. I had the same problem until I updated mine.
Or simpler, clear cache. That will probably solve it.
Work case, install the latest GAPPS from Cyanogenmod, the last one for ICS is dated 20120429 or something.
No factory reset will not affect you root it will just delete super user app..your root is still there
It will not brick you phone too..
You can try to change language of your device than start play store this may help sometime
we should polite enough to press thanks for everyone helped uS..
you are dead when you stop learning new things..
I'll try the gapps install..... everything else has failed me.
So none worked.....
I dont have a custom recovery, so installing GAPPS was basically a no go for me. I tried using ES File explorer, nope! I just unrooted the phone & going to take my chances at the sprint repair center. Since SU isnt on anymore, I should be fine right??

Hello everyone reading this!
I hope you can help me with my problem.
My problem is the following thing:
I was having some problems with my play store so i wanted to reinstall it.
So uninstalled Google Play Store with root but the problem is that i couldn't install it again.
(And i only make backups of my boot partition because i don't have so much space to backup data in twrp.)
When i try to install play store again with the latest apk of it then it just crashes. I also tried installing it as system by moving it to /system/app with the correct permissions but still not working. And i also tried it on /system/priv-app but it just disappears there.
I found out that if i use a old version of the play store (9.8.07) then it doesn't crash right away. But i still cannot use it properly. It crashes when trying to install something.
I also found out that if i try to uninstall something with this old version then it doesn't crash right away but it says "uninstalling" forever.
So i think it may be that play store didn't get the permissions that it needs?
I tried so many things but i just don't know how i can fix it. I don't want to do a factory reset or something like that.
Please help me. I just want my good old play store back.
Edit:
I can't even use YouTube. It doesn't allow me to use it without play store. This is much worse than I thought it would be.
My paid apps, substratum, everything i paid for is just broken now.
(SM-N920C, Samsung Galaxy Note 5, Nougat 7.0 Stock Rom, Rooted with Magisk, Xposed is installed, TWRP is installed)
Hello everyone reading this!
I found out that no one really has a solution how to fix a broken play store. Many people are saying "reinstall it" or "factory reset your phone" but this wasn't really a solution for me.
Reinstalling only did it worse because then i kept getting a "Play store stopped working" popup so after a week of trying things i finally found the solution.
So if you don't have Play store anymore or it just stopped working then you should try this out!
First try these things and after that try the solution that is in green:
1. First uninstall substratum if you have it (it sometimes breaks the play store)
2. Try reinstalling the play store but get the apk from apkmirror because it's safe there and don't get the newest version. Get an little older version. I always take 13.x.xx. It has more success rate than 14.x.xx.
3. Try deleting dalvik cache
4. Try installing it as system by moving the apk to /system/app with the correct permissions (rw-r-r, root:root)
DON'T FORGET A NANDROID BACKUP IN THE GREEN SOLUTION!
I accidentally deleted my Play store and couldn't reinstall it. This was the only solution that worked for me. You CAN use it on a stock rom where play store and play services was preinstalled. It will still work.
FINAL SOLUTIONIf these 2 things didn't work then go to the opengapps site, download the gapps app and open it. It should automatically select the correct things for your phone. In the variant select "Pico" and press download. After that hit install and it should send you to your custom recovery and it should automatically install it. You are basically done.
I hope i could help anybody. I literally searched a week for an solution and there weren't any. So i am the first to introduce the new way to fix the play store.
