I think I've tried everything to install the modded version of google play.
-Opening the .apk directly in file browser gives me an immediate fail or a "free some more space" warning (I have the 32gb One and huge amounts of space)
-Running through lucky patcher doesn't do anything. It just completes and there's no change. I've run it patched to android, unpatched to android, no difference.
-Running "install cracked google play" app immediately restarts the phone, no change.
-Flashing a .zip file does nothing.
-Factory reset, install everything from scratch, reboot, no change.
-Remove google play store through manual uninstall, reboot, comes back to 3.10.9 on reboot
Even if I replace Phonesky.apk in system directory with a modded version, it STILL reverts back to 3.10.9 on a reboot. I've tried so many different versions, nothing makes any difference.
Seriously need some help from the experts. I'm running jelly bean 4.2 on AT&T.
Just download lucky patcher tap the toolbox icon, bottom left, and choose install modded Google play. That worked for me.

Try putting the apk into systems/app directory manually. Then reboot. (Also move the original google playstore app somewhere else to avoid any interference)

Was hoping someone can give me some insight here because I am at a loss. I have tried countless times to get Gapps to work with Cyanogenmod 7 but the market nor any of the Google apps show up. The ROM installs fine but after flashing the Gapps package it doesnt show(yes I'm positive I'm using the right Gapps file) I have wiped everyting cache/data/dalvik, tried using the format.zip and nvflash to start with a fresh tab, that didn't work. I've tried installing Cyanogen 6 first, but for some reason that just results in a boot loop. If anyone has this problem or knows what the probelm could be it would be greatly helpful.
Thanks in advance for any help
After booting are you connecting to your WiFi access point?
Market doesn't show until you are connected to WiFi, then it will install the apps directly from the Market.
Yup Ive connected to WIFI, let the ROM run for a bit, restarted countless times. I just cant figure it out. I dont get the account setup screen either, it just goes straight into the ROM itself.
And after you connected to your WiFi did you open the app drawer and click on the Market to launch it?
At this point it should ask for your Google account, ask what Gapps from the market you want installed and then do it.
Thats the problem, the market icon doesnt exist for me to open, none of the google apps show up even though it installed successfully in clockwork.
None of the google apps will show up, though Market should, if you installed the Gapps package and are connected to WiFi.
The Gapps.zip just installs the Market and some of the supporting/needed libraries and files for accessing the Market (plus some other stuff).
Connected to WiFi, launching the Market initializes the Google sign in and the "other stuff" that lets you pick the Google Apps you want installed. It then downloads them from the Market itself.
EDIT:
What version of CM7 are you running and what Gapps package are you installing?

I installed 7.0.3 stable with the 20110307 gapps package.
I'm telling you nothing comes up to install market or any other google apps. I must have installed the ROM about 30 times now. Probably gonna end up being something stupid I'm leaving out.
Have both the Rom and Gapps on your device.
Boot in to Clockworkmod Recovery and do a factory reset, then advanced and wipe davlik cache
Install .zip from sdcard, choose the ROM and install, do NOT reboot.
Install .zip from sdcard, choose the Gapps and install
ReBoot device, connect to WiFi before doing anything else.
Market should appear when you open the app drawer. Launch it to continue.
It's been a while......but I walked my sister through it via email a few weeks ago back...

Ive tried this, it either results in a bootloop or just doesn't work but I'll give it another shot when I get home. Thanks
Try flashing a different rom along with gapps see if that works. If it does then reflash your CM7 rom along with gapps & retest, hopefully it works, if it doesn't maybe trying one of the nightly builds might work.
Did you pull the gapps file from the Cynogenmod website?
Gapps link: http://android.d3xt3r01.tk/cyanogen/gapps/gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip
Getting same thing my self, so don't feel alone.
I am in the same boat. Have gone so far as to do a full NVFlash restore. Gapps will not show. Appears to install without error via recovery but it just isn't there. ARRRRRRRGH!!!!
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
The fix....eject any microSD cards you have in your device. Plug in usb. Copy update.zip to root. Enter CWM and flash update.zip. Since Cyanogen Mod messes up file structure for some reason external SD card becomes internal and tweaks the device out. If that does not work, nvflash and reinstall CM without an sd card in the device. Hope this helps.
Thanks fosser2...
What I did,
Pulled SD card
Loaded CWM update.zip and recovery folder/file
NVflashed as I was back running V5.1 again.
Vol + power to flash CWM
use CWM to flash CMod 7.0.3
then flashed Gapps
When Cmod loads, I now see the google account and ability to install all the gapps.
Thanks again, Now I can give this rom a spin. I really like Robeets HC, but it was not stable enough for everyday yet. V5.1 has bee running great, but the Netflix on GB brought me to GB.
Having same issue
I keep trying to install google apps but the market, gmail, etc, are not appearing on my screen. Not sure what I am doing wrong but I am having the exact same problem.
Help!
I have an international version of the GS3 (i9300) that I purchased in the U.S. I didn’t get an OTA update for the latest firmware so I manually flashed XXFLB via ODIN. After the flash, I noticed that everytime I restart the phone, it says “Android is upgrading”. Also, a few apps I installed before the flash stopped working so I uninstalled them (for example, Speedtest.net). The problem is, now I tried to reinstall them from google play, it always gives me an error message “Insufficient storage space available”. I also tried install the apk and also failed.
I’ve poked around to find solutions for this issue but almost all of them says move/uninstall apps to make space, but I have more than 5GB of space available and it only happens to apps that I have previously installed.
I hope I can find some answers here, thanks a lot!
I noticed "Android is upgrading" stuff in my XXLF5 firmware. I also will be interested for an answer.

No idea for the "android is upgrading" thing (never have this...)
For your apps, they must have left some files on your phone when you uninstalled them
If you are rooted:
-open root explorer (or similar app)
-check /data/app and /system/app for files from your uninstalled apps
-reboot in recovery
-wipe cache and dalvik cache
-restart your phone
-try to reinstall the app from google store
if you are not rooted:
-reboot in recovery
-factory reset
-restart
The steps for non rooted phone will make you loose all your apps and data
Heh, remove any *.odex files from /data/app. You'll probably realise that you'll need to run a certain program again afterwards...

You don't say if you are unlocked and have a recovery?
Doing a factory reset will not bring back deleted apps as it only wipes the cache etc.
Re installing should have brought them apps back but I don't know how you are tying to re install.. Can you give a little bit more information on what I have asked please.

You will not be able to just install it. You will have to copy it into system/app folder using a file manager that has root support like es file explorer or root explorer.
Here is the file from the new JB update.

I'm really not sure what you deleted all together but try this.
GO to settings-apps and go to "all"
Scroll down to Google play services and google play store and force stop both and clear data and cache for both.

Any reason why you can't unlock the device and install a recovery so you can install custom roms? or are you trying to keep your warranty intact ?
I'm also not sure why you can't just do part 3 of the instructions you followed in the original post to put jellybean back on again. ( then again you have edited so many files this might not be advisable.)

As you said i am trying to keep warranty in place at the moment, i thought that following section three would work as well as i only accidentally changed the files from the system when i had installed but every time i have tried it doesnt reinstall the apks that were removed.
This is my attempt to help those who are on Lollipop and want Xposed working while not having any FC's. This also keeps the Play Store working. No "Your device is not compatible with this version" message in the store. I made 2 versions. One that removes the stock keyboard, one that doesn't. Also, if you don't want to remove the priv-apps, you can delete it from the zip by opening it with 7zip. I say this because I messed up the script and it only deleted files from /system/app but still booted fine. Also booted fine multiple times after, without having to clear cache. The file is only 500kb. Enjoy!!!
My phone is the Z3(6603), running LP(23.1.A.0.690), US Version, Locked Bootloader.
This should work for anyone using the same LP version on the Z series, but no guarantees since I only have the 6603 Z3 model.
Requirements:
Lollipop (23.1.A.0.690)
TWRP Recovery
Downloads:
z3_mini_debloat_for_xposed_no_kb**this WILL remove the stock keyboard, be sure to have an alternative installed
z3_mini_debloat_for_xposed_with_kb**this will NOT delete the stock keyboard
(added 5/17/15)
Z3_Full_Debloat_no_kb**this WILL remove the stock keyboard, be sure to have an alternative installed
Xposed Files
UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
**BACKUP BEFORE ATTEMPTING**
**I ASSUME NO RESPONSIBILITY**
**FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK**
How to (fresh install):
1. Backup (I cannot express this enough)
2. Do a full wipe
3. Flash a prerooted LP
4. Reboot into system
5. Run byeselinux for recovery fix
6. Let it reboot into system
(INSTALL A KEYBOARD AT THIS POINT, IF USING THE NO KEYBOARD VERSION)
7. Reboot into recovery
8. Flash one of the zips below (do not reboot)
9. Flash xposed arm
10. Clear cache and dalvik-cache
11. Reboot into system
12. Install xposed apk and your modules, reboot after enabling modules
How to (dirty install):
(INSTALL A KEYBOARD, IF USING THE NO KEYBOARD VERSION)
1. Backup (I cannot express this enough)

3. Flash xposed arm
4. Clear cache and dalvik-cache
5. Reboot into system
6. Install xposed apk and your modules, reboot after enabling modules
Known Issues
1. Some modules will cause boot loops. I recommend enabling one at a time and rebooting after each one. Start with the modules you want the most, first.
Bootloop fix for bad module besides a cache clear:
When you see the "ANDROID" logo after the Sony logo, press Volume Down or Up repeatedly, and fast, until you feel a long vibrate after the short ones. This disables the xposed from running its framework. I just figured this out by accident. So as far as I know, the only way to re-enable it is to navigate to "/data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/conf" and delete the disable file. Just be sure to disable the module from the xposed app afterwards.
Not Working Modules:
None are giving me an issue with boot loops. However, this is because of the full debloat. Doing the mini will cause random modules to cause boot loops.

I am on pre-rooted ..BAL.690 and I am using exposed with byeselinux patch but when I reboot my phone I stuck bootloop.
Now if I will install your zip am I relies to bootloop?
Edit: I flash @redinvali Zip's on to BAL.690 Pre rooted ROM and bomm everything like a old days. Thanks bro.
Are you on a bootloop from my file or from using a different one? Mine hasn't caused any bootloop issues for me.
Im about to do my phone again from a factory reset to see if theres any issues. My Play store was working but now isn't. I think its due to me flashing LP without a reset, only cleared caches. I'll post results when my phone is back up.
~ via Xperia Z3, XDA App
Ok so I'm back from a factory reset. Everything is working, xposed & play store. I checked the store after every reboot to make sure there was no "your device its not compatible" message. This is how I did it...
1. Backed up all my apps with titanium
2. Booted into recovery and did factory reset
3. Flashed a prerooted LP
4. Rebooted into android
5. Went thru initial setup and signed into google (to check store for message)
6. Ran byeselinux (which restarts automatically)
7. Checked Play Store, was ok
8. Installed the Xposed apk
9. Reboot into recovery
10. Flashed mini deodex, xposed fw, & super su zips
11. Cleared cache & dalvik cache
12. Reboot into system
13. Checked Play Store, was ok
14. Rebooted and checked Play Store, was ok (2 time to be sure)
15. Restored apps with Titanium
16. Rebooted and checked Play Store, was ok
17. Enabled all my modules
18. Rebooted and checked Play Store, was ok and all modules running
So if your trying to flash this over an existing system that has been altered already, to get xposed working, then you may experience issues. I recommended backing up your apps, doing a factory reset, reflash your prerooted LP, then follow the steps in OP.
WARNING: BE SURE TO RUN "byeselinux" AFTER A FRESH INSTALL OF PREROOTED LOLLIPOP OR YOUR RECOVERY WILL STAY BROKEN
I didn't have the issue with the Play store before until I started debloating my system. Im going to do it now while checking the Play store to see if removing a specific app causes the issue.
~ via Xperia Z3, XDA App
It seems my store is showing the message again... I haven't touched anything and it was working before my last post. I checked it again to be sure, before debloating, and there it was. So I'm back to trying to figure it out :-/
~ via Xperia Z3, XDA App
Edit:
Disabling all the modules in xposed did not remove the message from the Play Store. I just flashed the mini deodex again. Currently waiting on it to finish optimizing the apps. Then I'll remove the rest of the xposed framework files manually, if the Play Store is still showing the message. So I can determine if the framework for xposed is causing the issue or if its the deodexing causing it. I will figure it out
Great work with the ROM buddy.
Just a quick one, I am wanting to debloat my system. What are the safest apps to delete, or are the ones you listed on the first post still good to delete?
Also in regards to the error message in the play store, I used to develop ROMs for HTC devices, and deodexing the ROM caused this same issuer, bearing mind this was on ICS but still.
If you need any help, feel free to PM me.

Thank you. I just wish it was working correctly. Thanks for the info about the deodexing. I never had that issue on KK and never used a deodexed version of ICS. As for the apps to remove, I'll post a list of what I removed without causing any FC's (other than the one you get for deleting the apk because it was running in the background).
I just manually removed xposed, restoring the orig files, and it caused a boot loop. Even though I did clear the cache and dalvik. So I flashed the prerooted LP again without a data wipe. Waiting for it to finish booting though app optimization right now.
Edit:
I can confirm that flashing a prerooted LP without a factory reset will not restore your Play Store. The message WILL still be there, even with a cache clear. Will perform a full wipe when I am back from the store and then try to slim the firmware deodex down and see if I can do it without losing the Play Store while still maintaining the use of Xposed.
Still no luck... I was able to get xposed running but was requiring a cache clear before each boot or else a boot loop would occur. Ill keep everyone posted on the situation if I'm able to fix it.
Just to confirm then mate, is it safe to flash this or not?

I wouldn't unless u want the message in the app store to say "Your device is not compatible with this version". There are other markets so you can always install them if you want to use this. I may do that for the time being because I enjoy having GravityBox features. Almost any app can be found elsewhere besides the Play Store. Ill update OP to let others know
I would not write your 'My Flashable' off so easily...it worked for me Was suffering from the Xposed bootloop and now its gone. Alls back to normal.
My setup (Sony Z3C):
Came from rooted KK 5.77.
Flashed pre-rooted Lollipop with R/W enabled, based on CE1
Ran 'Byeselinux' for recovery
Flashed 'Xposed.zip'
Installed 'Xposed alpha2'
Resulting in the boot loop.
Followed your guide:
Flashed the 3 files, wipe cache/ Dalvik chache & reboot.
Tested by d/l-ing app from Playstore, installed Amplify from Xposed and all is ok and using Debloater by @gatesjunior to block/freeze apps.
PS: @hzr34 actually said it worked for him in a earlier post, thats why I gave it a try.
Thanks :thumbup:. I'm using it as well. Since my last fresh install, I haven't had the play store issue. Been checking it periodically to see and still no issues (fb messenger was saying not compatible).

I've been doing some research and I've got a few ideas I'll try tomorrow. They should help narrow down the boot loop caused when installing xposed on a fully stock odex LP rom. Off to bed for now tho, 3am =)
Works Great
Thank you a lot!I missed xposed for lollipop,but it worked like a charm for me! I can confim,also,lucky patcher works great.
Ok, so I did a factory reset and flashed the prerooted LP again. Did the normal stuff for recovery then installed LiveBoot, so I could log the boot even if it crashes. So I installed xposed and got a log from the boot loop it created. Im going to go through it now and see if I can figure out whats causing the boot loop when installing xposed on an odex LP. If anyone else is interested and/or is better at detecting problems from logs, I've uploaded em HERE in a zip. One log is a working boot log, the other is the boot loop version. The only difference, besides the boot loop, is that the working log was from when i had xposed working on my deodex mini version. I hope this helps!
Hi,
I'm on XtreStoLite 2.4 5.1.1 on my S6 edge for months now. All was working perfectly. Recently, GPS started crashing randomly, but except for the error, services and sync seemed to be working fine. Now ytdy armageddon started and now Google apps connected to GPS (search, keep, music, but not play store for example) will not run and get killed instantly.
What I did based on what ive found:
- deactivated play services, uninstalled updates and restored the account, GPS 9.0.83 (240-121911109)
- wiped cache/dalvik which helped for couple of minutes
appreciate any help!
I've had problems too with the latest play services on LG G4 H815 6.0 v20d. Google Play Services crashes non boot and Google Chrome crash after a few seconds of opening.
Uninstalling updates fixed it but I'm told by many apps that I need the latest version. I didn't wipe cache though.

True, stopped the apps from crashing, but made them unusable, even Inbox which worked just fined on the corrupted (?) version.

Got a fix. Google apps working. No force closes/errors. Root needed to prevent auto-update to latest version.
i) Get to the May 7th (or earlier) Play Services from here: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-services/
Look at the notes at the top to see which version you need arm or 64 ect.
In you're case, it's '240' so arm64 + arm android 5.0+ version. Direct download for you link: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...s-9-0-81-240-121617224-android-apk-download//ii) Enable airplane mode to prevent updates
iii) Then just install the apk on top of your rolled back version. Apks only install if version is newer.
iv) Using a root-enabled file manager like ES File Explorer, open \data\app and create two new, empty folders titled com.google.android.gms-1.apk and com.google.android.gms-2.apk. This tricks Google into causing auto updating of your GPS to fail.
v) Reboot (important)
Optional) Set Google Play Services as a device administrator again under security settings for Device Manager features.
If you get an error during install, then follow this guide to install: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/delete-disable-downgrade-prevent-update-t3091832

Edit: yep. Same here. When I turn internet back on, it updates to latest version. Try installing an older version.
I'll try and find another way to stop auto updates.
Same problem here, uninstalled services by titanium then installed back by apk and flashed open gapps, worked for me
None of those worked for me. Well, I used the opportunity to update XtreStoLite to MM, and problem disappeared, obviously
However, come to think of it, it could have sth to do with Amplify killing processes. Thing is, I didn't manipulate with anything there recently, but after activating xposed module on updated ROM i saw some crashes again. Anyway, I disabled it in any case now, want to see how the battery will last on the updated ROM, but it could be connected

Were you by any chance changing your phones emojis? I was and rebooted and noticed the GPS crash. Undoing emoji changes didn't fit it.
