After rooted the phone and using this rom - v2.0 XZ2 AROMA, google search doesn't not index my device (contacts/ apps). Which makes it unable to search my device. I can't find any settings in the google search app or google settings regarding to this. How should I fix this?
Delete the preinstalled play services, with a root explorer app, reboot and reinstall from the play store, it will now work.

@nintendolinky, how should I do this "Delete the preinstalled play services, with a root explorer app"? Should I be looking for a folder? or a bunch of files?
In priv-app there is gmscore.apk, delete that, reboot and then reinstall play services from the play store.

I am using "Root Browser". Trying to uninstall "system/priv-app/GmsCore.apk" got "Uninstall unsuccessful". What could be wrong?

You need to "delete" the file, not "uninstall" it.

I got it resolved by downloading ES file browser. This time tapping gmscore.apk shows "install" rather than "uninstall". I just "install" the apk and the phone search feature is back to normal now. Thanks everyone for the help.

thanks a bunch but for some reason I can't install it, says
"An existing package by the same name with a conflicting signature is already installed"
but I've frozen GVoice using Titanium. So I removed it completely and it still says "Application not installed"
Uninstall and reboot. Then use a root browser to push it to system/app. Change permissions to rw-r-r. Then reboot once again and you should be good.

assuming the apk above is directly from the market, you can just install it normally.. I don't think it has to be a system app. I had the same problem with TB and freezing/uninstalling... If you're having that problem, check in Apps, All and see if com.google.android.....voice is in there.
I have just bought my son an allwinner a13 tab n I am downloading apps from the browser fine but when I click to install keep getting cannot open file, why is this, does the tab need to be rooted to do this

What Android version?
You can install apps from the Market/Play Store/Google Play, for this first add an Google Account to the device.
To install apps downloaded outside Play Store, you should go to Config > Security and then check Unknown Source. You could use some File Manager to install then, like ES File Explorer https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop
I'm on android 4.1.2 rooted LG G2. I had to reset phone after removing root. I then got root again but now Google Play Store was missing. I tried downloading a Google Play .apk and Google Play Services. I edited hosts file and added # in front of second one. It worked for some minutes but stopped.now when I looked at hosts file, it's empty. Now when I open hosts editor app it says error parsing hosts file.
I tried clearing app store and google play services data and cache but it don't work. It's the hosts file that's empty. I took a screenshot of what it was before it went blank. What do I do to fix it ?

If your not rooted you really can't fix it. What more than likely happened is you somehow created more than 1 Google play file inside the system/app or data/app folders. You need root to remove them

I said in the post I got root again after I did factory reset. Now play store isn't working.
What are the file names ? Are you talking about two files the same kind or two .apk files installed ? I tried searching and didn't find anything. earlier I tried uninstalling play services and play store and reinstall one from online. What do I do ? Without reset phone ?

Both. You can also uninstall play services if you'd like. You may have to reset the phone

[GUIDE] How to fix and upgrade Google Play Services
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This Guide is designed for people, who are having problems with the GoogleApps_GearCM_CM9_20140711 package.
Only for CyanogenMod 9.1 - BroadcomCM Beta 5, but might help other people too.
Error Messages
If you get one of the following errors, you have installed a Google Apps Package which was signed with old certificates.
Incompatible with other application(s) using the same shared user ID.
This app won't run without Google Play services, which are missing from your phone.
The Problem
You cannot fix this error by installing/updating Google Play Services, because there is a conflict with the "shared user id".
The Solution
The "shared user ids" are stored in this file "/data/system/packages.xml".
Therefore it is very important that you don't delete the google apps manually with a Root Explorer.
Because in this case, the "shared user ids" are not getting deleted in the "packages.xml".
You should uninstall the Google Apps with the App Manager of the ES File Explorer.
Download it from the Play Store
Start the app and open the left toolbar
Go to "Tools" -> "App Manager"
Select "System Apps" from the top menu
Select the following apps (one by one) and hit uninstall and then click OK
/system/app/GooglePlayStore.apk (com.android.vending) (Google Play Store)
/system/app/GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk (com.google.android.syncadapter.contacts) (Google Contacts Sync)
/system/app/GoogleLoginService.apk (com.google.android.gsf.login) (Google Account Manager)
/system/app/GoogleServicesFramework.apk (com.google.android.gsf) (Google Services Framework)
/system/app/NetworkLocation.apk (com.google.android.location) (Network Location)

This will uninstall the apps correctly and the "packages.xml" gets also updated correctly.
Next Step
Afterwards reboot into recovery and wipe the cache.
Then install my updated Google Apps Package, which you can find here.
Final Step
After installing my updated Google Apps Package, reboot your device and go to the System Settings, and add your Google Account.
After clicking the "Add Account" button, there might be a bug, where the Google Icon is black and the text is not visible.
Just click the line which is completely dark, and configure your Google Account. Afterwards the Icon should re-appear.

Google Apps are updated automatically after you have installed a Google Apps Package.
Worked for me, thanks. Needed to enable Root Explorer in ES File Explorer (it's a toggle in the left-sidebar) and had to download ES Task Manager. Network Location system app didn't exist on mine (Android 4.4.4) but the fix still worked. Since I'm using CM11, I just re-installed their GApps zip package from Recovery.
Easy fix without reboot

What I did is went to settings apps, then I went to running apps, Google play services said it had 2 running service's, I opened it up and to find 7 were running and causing conflicts between the authentication and the service itself. I stopped all the services which is just like reciting because they restart. Phone works again no reboot, try this for a quick fix next time to save your day. Sincerely Jacob.

What's your android version and where are u ?
Download root Explorer via browser, then open it,open file system/etc/ then find file hosts and delete it. Then either factory reset or reboot your phone. Disable and re-enable Google Play and Google Play services.
